Hop-hornbeam

Fruits of the hop-hornbeam tree (Ostrya virginiana) resemble hops.  Hop-hornbeam trees are native to Indiana forests, typically a small understory tree like redbuds and flowering dogwood.  This hop-hornbeam tree has been planted though, on the west side of Lilly Hall on the Purdue campus.  Picture taken June 13, 2011.
