When the SM调教所 first opened in 1876, campus was nearly treeless. Today, it's home to approximately 5,000 trees and nearly 60 different species. Here, SM调教所's Arborist Vince Aquino discusses the unique characteristics and attributes of trees, and why they are so important to the university's history.

See them for yourself with the SM调教所鈥檚 Museum of Natural History鈥檚 self guided tree tour.听
