The Kayhart Arboretum at Luther Crest
Luther Crest is a 52 acre retirement community just west of the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The trees on our campus consist in part of old mature trees remaining from the time the area was undeveloped and newer younger trees which have been planted during the 32 years the retirement community has occupied the property. The trees in our collection are primarily trees native to Pennsylvania and the middle states region which do well in our particular setting. It includes deciduous trees, evergreens and some selected ornamental trees. The initial arboretum collection will consist of 42 labeled trees organized into three arboretum walks, each 20-30 minutes long. Guide books with identification and brief descriptions of the trees are available for each of the walks.
