Dominion Arboretum, Arboretum at Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Canada.
The Dominion Arboretum extends across 64 acres of undulating terrain between Prince of Wales Drive and the Rideau Canal, containing 4000 specimens of trees and shrubs.
The arboretum, established in 1889, was created to examine the endurance of woody plants in Canadian weather conditions through systematic testing and observation.
Scientists and botanists continue to study plant adaptation patterns at the arboretum while the public uses its paths for recreation and education.
Visitors can access the arboretum from sunrise to sunset without admission fees, with facilities including parking areas, restrooms, and wheelchair-accessible paths.
Located north of the 45th parallel, the collection includes a Bebb's Oak over 100 years old and specialized zones for magnolias, crab apples, and weeping willows.
