Pinecrest Gardens will have modified hours this Friday, December 6 through Sunday, December 8. Garden Hours: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Many unusual plants have been brought to the Gardens over the decades and survive as mature specimens. An African Sausage Tree, Kigelia pinnata, provides a shady oasis at the far edge of the Meadow.
Several Calabash Trees, Crescentia cujete, producing a large woody fruit that inspires the species common name, can be found near Cypress Hall, Splash ‘n Play, and the Terrace ramp.
