Eastwoodhill Arboretum, National arboretum in Gisborne District, New Zealand
The arboretum spans 131 hectares of hill country, containing over 25,000 species of exotic and native trees, shrubs, and climbing plants across multiple themed sections.
William Douglas Cook established the arboretum in 1910, investing his fortune in importing thousands of trees until H.B. Williams acquired the property in the 1960s.
The New Zealand Gardens Trust designated Eastwoodhill as the National Arboretum in 2005, recognizing its role in preserving Northern Hemisphere temperate tree species.
Located at 2392 Wharekopae Road, the arboretum welcomes visitors daily from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, offering guided tours and educational programs throughout the year.
