Rescuer Orchard stands in the area where the Oklahoma Water Resources and Athenian Building once stood, both of which sustained heavy damage and required demolition. The orchard symbolically rushes in from both east and west on the Memorial Grounds toward the Survivor Tree as a tribute to the rescue workers who rushed in to help following the disaster. Its three selected tree varieties are Oklahoma Redbud, Amur Maple, and Chinese Pistache, and the Oklahoma Redbud stands nearest to the Survivor Tree in honor of the Oklahomans first on the scene.
