What is a Noble Tree?

“A Noble Tree is manifest and magnificent in statue, transcends and achieves significant architectural grace and dignity over centuries.” - Michael Dirr, Professor Emeritus of Horticulture, University of Georgia

Noble Trees are tall, substantial trees that, when planted wisely, will endure for generations.

They are large, architecturally elegant trees that cast shade and become fixtures in a landscape.

They are homes to birds, highways for squirrels, destinations for pollinators, food sources for animals, and anchors for tree houses and swings.

Noble trees prevent erosion, support wildlife habitats, emit oxygen, decrease carbon dioxide, and increase property values.

These inspiring trees enhance everyday life and create memories for those who encounter them – some even call them spiritual skyways to the heavens.
