Summer Color Guided Walk

Tuscarora crepe myrtle

Take a self-guided walk to see trees with summer color!

Summer trees bloom with showy flowers starting from June into mid-September.

Most Portland trees are spring blooming, leaving few options for pollinators to find nectar during the long summer. This can be a lean time for bees and other pollinators. Planting summer-flowering trees can improve nectar availability beyond the peak April-May flowering time.

To find the trees, visit the Live Map produced by the Concordia Tree Team and search for these trees.
