Longfellow Arboretum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Longfellow Arboretum is a small arboretum within the 23 hectares (56 acre) Payson Park, which is located on Ocean Avenue in Portland, Maine.

The arboretum contains approximately 40 non-native trees, including Betula nigra, Cercidiphyllum, and Stuartia. The arboretum is named in honor of American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) who grew up in the nearby Wadsworth-Longfellow House.
