The Cherrydale Branch Library is delighted to report that our Chinese Chestnut tree has been approved by Arlington’s Beautification Committee as a Notable Tree winner.
Notable Tree status is awarded annually to trees on the basis of their size and/or age, their species (if unusual for this area), documented historical interest, or special significance to the neighborhood. Our Chestnut will now be included in the County’s online list of Notable Trees, and representatives from the Cherrydale Branch Library will receive a plaque from County Board Chair Jay Fisette.
This gorgeous tree reminds me of my childhood. My children spent hours picking and collecting the "nuts" when they were young. We still have a wonderful collection. Thank you!
