A very early sign of the fall season to come. Along Estaugh Way on the Medford Campus, near Court 16 and 17, there is a lovely Bur Oak, Quercus macrocarpa, along the side of the road.
If you look closely, you will see the acorns as they are just beginning to show. As they grow and age, the branches of this native tree are typically laden down with the weight of the huge acorns. You may want to take a look now and watch them as we move into the fall.
