    One of the outstanding features of the estate that became the Morris Arboretum in 1933 is the collection of magnificent trees found throughout the 92-acre property. Beginning with founder John Morris’s interest in growing plants from around the world, unusual specimens have flourished here for well over 100 years. On your walk you will see champion trees, old trees, trees from far away continents, and trees native to Pennsylvania. Some highlights include the pink glow of our signature Katsura-tree as it leafs out, the camouflage-like bark of the lacebark pine, and the structural beauty of the Tatar wingceltis.
