East Court Arboretum is a relatively young arboretum starting its development in 2007. The owner personally hand selected specimen trees with various shapes and textures to be planted in the new landscape design.  As it grows and develops the arboretum exhibits a manicured and symmetrical style featuring woody plants sheared and trained into topiaries of geometric shapes and forms.   Mixed within the tightly sheared hedges and topiaries are highlights of various selected shapes of trees and shrubs including fastigiate, “standard”, and vase shaped varieties.  Now, the beautiful space presents a diverse planting of trees including Japanese maple, tulip tree, katsura, holly, magnolia, linden, stewartia, horse chestnut, hornbeam, standard tree hydrangea, and more mixed among the privet and boxwood hedges and topiaries. The central highlight of the arboretum is a very large red oak that is one of the original remaining specimen trees.
