Dr. Everett Christopher Memorial Arboretum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dr. Everett Christopher Memorial Arboretum is an arboretum located on the campus of the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island.
The arboretum was established in 1984 by an endowment from Dr. Everett P. Christopher, and dedicated in 1992. It currently contains over 140 species and cultivars of deciduous and evergreen trees. To strike a balance between education and testing, two trees of each ornamental variety have been planted, of which only one is labeled.
Everett P. Christopher was the author of The Pruning Manual, which was based on the book of the same name by Liberty Hyde Bailey. The book is a model of clear writing.
