Kim Arboretum at Elizabeth Park

The trees of Elizabeth Park are no mere backdrop to the gardens of Elizabeth Park. Many of the trees are old, historic and unusual, and some are designated “Connecticut State Champions” by the Connecticut Botanical Society. Among the tree species in Elizabeth Park are white oak, pin oak, shagbark hickory, Katsura, European hornbeam, weeping blue spruce and weeping European beach. The oldest trees in the park are the oaks. An inventory of the trees was completed in 2016 by Bartlett Tree Experts, which can be found on the Conservancy's website.
