Seeing a monocarpic succulent bloom is a special event! These plants only bloom once, right before they die. Next time you visit the Arboretum, take a moment to appreciate these beautiful, fleeting blooms before they`re gone.

Happy World Chocolate Day! 🍫
Did you know one of nature`s chocolate substitutes grows right here at Boyce Thompson Arboretum?
The carob tree is native to the Mediterranean region and grows best in hot, arid climates. Once the carob pods ripen, they can be boiled, seeded, dried, and ground into a powder for baking.
Carob is known for its rich flavor, which is often compared to chocolate. Unlike cocoa powder, carob is naturally sweet and caffeine-free.
So, when you celebrate World Chocolate Day, make sure you take some time to appreciate the carob tree! You can spot our trees near the Visitors Center Patio, Mediterranean Garden, and Taylor Family Desert Legume Garden.

This summer, a family of Cooper`s Hawks have made the Arboretum their home!
We first spotted the parents in Conifer Corner, dive-bombing ravens when they got too close to their nest. Soon afterwards, the little fledglings emerged! They have been frequently spotted near Drover`s Wool Shed. Listen closely, and you may hear them calling to each other from the treetops as they explore their world and learn to hunt.
Watching this family grow is a reminder of how life can be found even in the hottest and driest of places. 💚 Plan your visit today for a chance to see this family before they spread their wings and move on. 🪶

💡Did you know the tallest sunflower in the world grew to an astonishing height of 35 ft 9 inches tall? That`s almost 6.5x taller than the average person! It was grown by Alex Babich in Fort Wayne, Indiana just last September.
Visit our Demonstration Garden to see how high our sunflowers have grown this summer! Are they taller than you? You`ll just have to find out for yourself. 🌻
