Carlisle S. Page Arboretum

About Us:

Elmwood contains one of the major stands of old forest growth trees left in Memphis. The trees of Elmwood have always played a major part in the development of the cemetery grounds, which were largely situated around the already-present trees.

Featuring almost 1,500 trees within 80 acres, hundreds of Elmwood's trees are labeled including two state champion trees: an American Fringe Tree and an Atlas Cedar.

In addition to the towering hardwoods, there is a large variety of ornamental trees including magnolias, dogwoods, crepe myrtles, redbuds, deciduous holly, and fruit trees that all bloom enthusiastically.
