SECREST SELECT

Plants cultivated at Secrest Arboretum with outstanding
ornamental, ecological, and functional traits.


The Secrest Select program is designed to help educate homeowners, industry professionals, and students learn about trees, shrubs, and other horticulturally relevant plants proven to thrive in northeast Ohio. Our website now contains the 2023 inaugural class of 13 plants along with the 6 plants from the Class of 2024.  Divided into three categories the outstanding plants include eight trees, seven shrubs, and four plants in the perennials, vines, or ground cover group.

All the Secrest Select plants can be found at Secrest Arboretum which is located on the Wooster campus of The Ohio State University. The expansive 110 acre outdoor laboratory and landscape garden has over 2,500 varieties of perennials, shrubs and trees.

The arboretum is open to the public during daylight hours year round.
