Ed, Jenny The accession number is a number assigned to a plant when it is originally purchased or propagated in the nursery. The number stays with the plant until removal/death. It identifies the tree as an individual and allows us to map it and track any care or issues it has had through a system called BGbase and BG map. Until a few years ago they were only accessed by species, but now they all have individual identifiers. Trees too old to be accessed properly start with "L". Starting in the 40's-50's start with the date they were aquired. For instance a tree labeled L-0388-DDD would be a tulip poplar that was accessed after D and DD were assigned. Where as a 1954-0456 M would be a tree originally purchased in 1954 and later planted out. Some trees spens many years in the nursery before they come into the garden.
