Moyer House Linden / Wisteria
Posted on: March 29th, 2024 in Heritage Tree Details |
Tillia americana / Wisteria floribunda
This wisteria vine and its companion linden tree, whose “partnership” is a local landmark, were planted in approximately 1881 by Brownsville entrepreneurs John and Elizabeth Moyer. With its distinctive braided trunk, the wisteria relies on the linden tree for support and to vividly display its profuse spring blossoms. It is the success of this long-standing partnership that makes them a unique addition to the Oregon Heritage Tree Program.
