Warren G. Roberts Redbud Collection
Redbud Collection Exhibits
Students, faculty and volunteer community members develop the content for every permanent exhibit in the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden using an in-depth interpretive signage creation process.
The Warren G. Roberts Redbud Collection is a grove of Western redbud, small multi-trunked trees that produce clouds of magenta-pink blossoms in early spring. Redbud is native to the California foothills and is an important plant to Native Californians, who harvest young shoots for basketry. The grove was named to honor Warren G. Roberts, superintendent of the UC Davis Arboretum for more than 35 years.
