Historical Name: Robert Frost
Common Name: Sugar Maple
Latin Name: Acer saccharum
The Robert Frost Sugar Maple found in UCNJ’s Historic Tree Grove was germinated from a seed collected from the parent tree that shades Frost’s gravesite in 2011. It was planted in the Grove in 2022. It is appropriate that Frost, who dearly loved New England, is buried beneath a tree species that for many represents the forests of the region.
