The coati have found their way to their favorite winter snack 🫐
In the late fall, the Myrtle trees fruit, producing berries. These blueberry look-alikes are often used in the Mediterranean region to make spices, jams, essential oils, and liqueurs. Here at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, though, they`re reserved for the coati.
Stop by the Myrtle Tunnel during your next trip to the Arboretum to see if you can spot the coati. Get tickets at the link in bio.

Fall Color Update: The Pistache trees have begun to show their fall hues.
We haven`t reached peak fall color yet, but there are still many Beautiful sights this time of year at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. With temperatures cooling down this weekend, we suspect peak color near the end of November. Many environmental factors impact the changing of the leaves, so you`ll have to keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages to stay up to date when peak hits.
If you`ve been looking for a time to plan a trip to Boyce Thompson Arboretum, this is it. Get tickets at the link in bio.

Did you know the Smith Greenhouses used to be the entrance to Boyce Thompson Arboretum?
When the Arboretum opened to the public in 1926, the historic Smith Greenhouses were the original entrance and Visitors Center. On the left is a photo of the east wing of the greenhouses from 1929. The right shows the east wing, present day.
Which version of the greenhouses do you prefer?

Fall Color Update: Our canyon region is slowly turning gold. 🍂
The Jujube trees are currently putting on their full fall display along Thompson`s Trail, and the Honey Locust have begun to turn. The Chinese Pistache trees have yet to turn their vibrant reds and oranges, but are slowly changing as temperatures cool.
