Arboretum at Arizona State University, Botanical garden at Arizona State University, United States.
The Arboretum at Arizona State University spans the Tempe campus and displays over 300 plant species adapted to desert and varied climatic conditions. The collection features trees, shrubs, and other vegetation from different regions around the world.
The university officially established the grounds as an arboretum in 1990 to support teaching and research activities. This designation of the existing campus greenery created a structured space for scientific work with plants.
The arboretum serves as an outdoor classroom where students and researchers observe and study plant behavior. The space demonstrates how different species thrive together in arid conditions.
The arboretum is freely accessible daily with no entrance fees, as it integrates with the public campus landscape. Visitors can wander freely and observe the plants in their natural setting during all daylight hours.
The collection holds one of four date palm germplasm repositories in the country and features specialized exhibits of conifers and native southwestern plants. This diversity makes it an important location for preserving plant genetics.
