Help AccuWeather name the tree it planted in honor of Earth Day 2019 and Arbor Day

AccuWeather plants a tree in celebration of Arbor Day
A team of AccuWeather employees decided to do its part to celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day, which begin and end this final full week of April, by doing some landscaping outside the company’s State College, Pennsylvania, headquarters.

The group planted a Dwarf Alberta Spruce in front of the building and is excited to monitor its progress over time. However, the work is not yet done.

The team of employees came up with a list of nicknames for the tree, but is conflicted on which one should win. So we thought we’d turn it over to you, the readers, to help pick the best name for the tree. Spruce Springsteen, Alberta Clipper, Forrest Stump, Treeyoncé, and Albus Dumbledwarf. It's your call -- be sure to vote.

Most of the names are pop-culture inspired, but one -- Alberta Clipper -- is weather-inspired. An Alberta Clipper is a storm system during the winter months that plunges down into the U.S. from or near the Canadian province of Alberta. The term "clipper" originates from the clipper sailing ships, which were known for being fast-moving vessels. Thus, an Alberta Clipper is a quick-moving winter storm system that often unloads small amounts of snow.
