TREASURE TREES
#018 Japanese Pagoda Tree (Styphnolobium japonicum)
This Japanese Pagoda is the sister tree to Treasure Tree #019. It’s located in a private neighborhood park originally designed by Frederick Law Olmstead in 1911, commissioned by Edward Dilworth Latta. This specific tree is cabled for support but is missing its original Treasure Trees tag. (Thank you to Dan L. Morrill for the historical information, pulled from his piece, Dilworth’s Early History 1890-1911.)
