The fringe tree at MSH will bloom this week

Posted on May 14, 2012 | 2 Comments

The fringe tree at the Medfield State Hospital will bloom this week.  I saw it Sunday while jogging, and there were blooms open at the very bottom.  The whole tree will be covered with fringe like flowers this week. It looks like nothing, a large bush, until it blooms, then it is absolutely spectacular for a few days.

It is in front of B-2, which is to the left at the top of the main entrance drive, up behind the Clark Building.

    Please take a picture when in full bloom! The hospital has fencing all around. Do they let you in?

      Diane,

      I will try to take a photo of it in bloom, but I am usually there only when I jog, and I do not have a camera then. Last Sunday afternoon serendipity had Kristen and me taking a walk, so I had the camera.

      DCAM has been good about letting people onto the Medfield State Hospital grounds during daylight hours.

      The Clark Building is fenced because it is soon to be demolished, but the rest of the site is open to the public.

      There is also a second guard trailer at the main entrance now, along with gates at both entrances.

      Pete
