"A Year With the Trees" - Tree Number 25
Mountain Laurel
Kalmia latifolia
Spring
The Mountain Laurel is usually a large shrub that lives in thickets. However, it can grow up to 25 feet tall with a single trunk that is 10 inches in diameter. The flowers are pink and white and red with pink lantern-shaped buds.

Fall
Does anyone have a photo or drawing they would like to add to my project for the Fall Mountain Laurel or Winter Mountain Laurel? If not, I better get busy!
Winter
For the love of the trees,

These small trees are filled with flowers in May and June. You can find many Mountain laurels throughout the Botanical gardens of Asheville; that is where these photos were taken.
The beautiful flowers display mother nature's stitching as each flower has intricate stitching in each flower.
