Alert! (At least) one of these beauties is blooming in Arsenal Park right now!
On the 39th Street side of the park adjacent to the pathway (east side of path next to softball field). It's so beautiful! Wondering if there's a way to get these park trees labeled more permanently, for education purposes and to raise awareness? Arsenal is a mini arboretum.

Matt or Lisa, do you have any thoughts on this? Does the city have any standards regarding tree id signs? Do other city parks have any trees identified? I have seen signs in Allegheny Cemetery but can't recall seeing them in parks.

That’s a big conversation, Christine. For now I’m gonna share my pic of tulip tree flowers taken in Allegheny Cemetery. I was noticing how splendid they were just yesterday.

Good Morning,
The City now has two parks that are arboretums, Mellon and Westinghouse. Westinghouse is just beginning a master planning process that will include setting up standards for City park arboreta that can then be used universally. This will include signage. However, I believe the City is also working on criteria of what parks may be eligible to become arboretums.

Matt, that's really interesting! That makes sense because there's more space for specimen trees at Mellon and Westinghouse. They are flatter and more expansive, spatially.
Is the City also thinking about modest tree ID signage for trees in city parks that aren't arboreta? For educational purposes... with Arsenal Park so close to Arsenal Schools, it seems like a good resource immediately re: environmental science curricula, etc.

Great question, I would say that it will most likely depend on funding for the signs and for their maintenance.
