Just a link about Arbor Day. I think Arbor Day is related to (but not the same as) Oak Apple Day. And Oak Apple Day seems to have a pagan history.
All I know is that I saw it on Wikipedia. I don't have strong evidence, yet.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Apple_Day
The Wikipedia page about Arbor Day also hints at a history of pagan and Christian blended spring festivities.

What I would like to find is something about actual arbors, festive arches, shelters decorated with flowers. Imagine if the ancient world had other festivals similar to the Jewish festival of booths? Springtime booths?
