Geocache Description:

A geocache located near the Natural Garden Trail at The North Carolina Arboretum.

 

Sourwood trees are one of our area's greatest natural treasures. They have bright red foliage every autumn, a very knobby (or furrowed) bark, and small white bell-shaped flowers in late spring to early summer. The serrated leaves are a natural dietetic and have a sour taste (though, never eat leaves without a professional naturalist to help identify!). Their flowers contain a nectar that honeybees use to create a sweet honey that is widely known as a special treat. You may notice a sourwood tree that has a treat for geocachers for discover also.

USFS rules state that geocaching is not permitted within Bent Creek Experimental Forest. Under a special use permit geocaches are permitted at The North Carolina Arboretum when placed and maintained by Arboretum staff only. Please refrain from adding additional caches.

The North Carolina Arboretum was established in 1986, and features a 434-acre public garden with over 10 miles of hiking and biking trails. For more information on fees and policies, visit our website at www.ncarboretum.org
