Plant Information Hotline
Our hotline is available for questions about woody plants hardy in the Boston area.
Staffed by knowledgeable volunteers, the hotline is open every Monday from 1:00-3:00 PM (617.384.5235) but you may leave a message any time.
You may also send email to plantinfo@arnarb.harvard.edu.
Or click on these links for the forms to submit your questions: Plant Identification or Plant Problems.
Please note that the hotline has no live assistance from December through the end of January; during this period, however, volunteers will respond to voicemail messages and email.
Questions about perennials, vegetables or wild flowers should be addressed to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at 617.933.4929.
