Fringe Tree in Bloom – but waning


The spectacular fringe tree that sits atop the front Great Lawn at the former Medfield State Hospital site was blooming last weekend when I went by, but this year it is not as full of blooms and as robust looking as it has been in the past.

    Looks like it would benefit from pruning, at least the dead branches. Can a volunteer do that?

      Volunteers should not take things into their own hands. Any work should only be done by or through the town. Talk with Moe Goulet, the DPW Director, to see if he wants anything done – I am guessing not.

    Never having heard of a Fringe Tree, I looked it up…they are quite pretty. Thanks, Pete!
