Notable, Specimen, and Champion Trees

Make Your Notable Tree Nomination Today

Since 1987, Arlington has identified and registered its most notable trees, as well as the residents who care for them.

Specimen Trees

Designation as ‘Specimen Trees’ through the Tree Preservation Ordinance will result in their protection from removal or injury.

A Champion Tree is the largest specimen of its species. Species vary in size, age and growth habitat. As a general rule, forest trees will be taller, thinner and have a smaller crown compared to counterparts grown in more open environments.
