I've been to that arboretum. Nice, big place! They have one of those super-rare trees from the southern Appalachians... Forgetting the name now. Starts with an F. I think.

If I was anywhere near I'd be going to it myself!
Are you thinking of the Fraser fir they are speaking about here? Quote:

No, it's a delicate deciduous understory tree. Wish I could remember!
Fraser firs will survive up here if not in their native range. A lot of Christmas tree farms plant them. ![]()

I've never heard of that tree! It's beautiful. The arboretum looks like a fascinating place to visit. Wish I lived a bit closer,too.

Seems like it would make for a very special addition to any rural garden. It's got form and beauty, and it's a challenge, something many of us enjoy to a certain degree. I note, however, that growing this plant can be quite the challenge.
It's great that the species is still surviving!!!
