The following is a partial list of flowering and fruiting plants located in Fairchild during the specified month. Plants are listed alphabetically by scientific name, the location by plot number and by common name. You may refer to a plot map at the bottom of this page.

Many of the plants at Fairchild suffered cold damage in early January. We expect most plants to recover in the spring.
