200 Block of West Lemon Street to 300 Block of Harrisburg Avenue, Lancaster PA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While not a formal collection of trees, this gem of a linear park contains a rich variety of trees. \u00a0The park opened in 1994, is handicapped accessible, and extends a mere .3 of a mile between Harrisburg Pike and Lemon Street. \u00a0All that’s needed to substantially enhance the park’s educational value are labels for the various species…. a simple but powerful upgrade. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The park’s arbor highlight is what appears to be a large Red Mulberry\u00a0(Morus rubra<\/em>), a native species that is being threatened with extinction by the invasive White Mulberry\u00a0(Morus alba)<\/em>\u00a0from China (see separate entry.) \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A casual inventory of the park’s trees in 2019 found these additional species: Black Locust; Cherry; Crabapple; Golden Rain Tree; Green Ash; Hemlock; Holly; Honeylocust; Japanese Maple; Norway Maple; Norway Spruce; Pine (multiple species); Red Oak; River Birch; Silver Maple; Sugar Maple; Sycamore; Tree of Heaven; Willow Oak; and Zelkova. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are additional trees on adjacent private property that are within easy visual access from the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
