Neighbourhood Trees:Weeping Purple Beech & Dogwood
Weeping Purple Beech (Fagus Sylvatica)
We have beautiful specimens of the Weeping Purple Beech right in front of the Canoe Club. The pictures show nice fresh foliage, ready for 2011. This tree is happy in its lawn location. Indigo has lots of specimens of the regular non-weeping beeches. Residents will notice that the beeches keep their leaves thoughout winter. That explains the spring avalanche of leaves for your neighborhood landscaper to take care of.
Kousa Dogwood (Cornus Kousa)
There are lots of specimens of Dogwood in Klahanie, especially around the Canoe Club. Kousa Dogwood have attractive flowers, produce red raspberry-like fruit and put on a show in the fall. The flowers are surrounded by four pointed bracts.

The Klahanie neighborhood is nicely flushing out. Enjoy the show.
