The Arboretum on Blue Hill is a a private property of over 330 acres which resides in the Town of Yorkshire in Cattaraugus County, just 35 miles from Buffalo, New York. Early settlers moving west looked up to the hills southeast of Springville and saw them surrounded by blue sky. Reference to Bue Hill can be found on maps around 1840. The elevation is around 2500 feet.

The Hilliker family has been growing Christmas trees since 1947, most of which find their way to Garden Centers and tree lots in Western New York. To learn more about their nursery business please visit our nursery web site at http://www.treehavennursery.com. The Aboretum's mission is to preserve tree types, mostly conifers (cone bearing evergreens), for long term propagation and a source of future plant material. Many of the trees that we grow are from countries around the world and are not known in America.
