Trojan Tales: The man who speaks for the USC trees

Did you know that there are 7,000 trees on USC ’ s three campuses, including fruit trees ?


The campus arborist Mike Wallich knows all the hidden tree treasures on USC’s three campuses. He took Aino Frilander on a tour in his electric cart to show her the best trees on campus.

Those fruit trees he talks about? They are sprinkled through the UPC campus, but if you’re hungry, you can look for them near the Parkside International Residential College in the southwestern corner of the main campus.
