From the Editor

The Seed in Winter
By Matthew Battles

Notes from the Field

Delia Mahoney climbs a tree in the beech collection, where traces of decline and hope abound; Michael S. Dosmann and Chris Copeland pursue rare yellow waxbells in a magical montane forest during a recent trip to Korea, asking questions that will inform their culture and conservation; when Brendan Keegan invites us to help solve an insect mystery in the Arboretum’s nest boxes, the question of guilt gets complicated; James Papargiris tells Arnoldia about 45 years of life and labor in the Arboretum.
