Red Oaks to stand tall in city parks
Red oaks, chosen for Frederick Arbor Day on April 10, can reach 70 to 90 feet with 2 to 3 foot trunks, though some specimens approach 150 feet and nearly 6 feet in diameter. The species boasts rapid growth, papery leaves with bristle tipped lobes, and value in construction, flooring, and as a disease tolerant shade tree.

Frederick Arbor Day program extends to citywide forestry efforts
Frederick's comprehensive tree program exceeds a single Arbor Day event with year round planning, a tree governing body, and a city ordinance. Foresters guide residents in permits and planting while street and park trees are maintained. Elementary schools participate with 10:30 a.m. ceremonies and plantings in local parks, funded by garden clubs that adopt schools and donate trees.
