Dendrologischer Park Bazoș, Nature reserve and arboretum in Bucovăț, Romania.
Dendrologischer Park Bazoș is a 60-hectare nature reserve and arboretum containing over 800 plant species from five continents. The vegetation is organized into distinct sections, including oak forests and specialized botanical zones.
An Austro-Hungarian diplomat in the United States founded the grounds between 1909 and 1914 using specimens from a renowned American arboretum. The collection was expanded over time and became a notable botanical location in the region.
The park's name comes from Bazoșu Nou, the village where it lies. It holds Romania's most complete collection of American oaks and carya, a genus of nut-bearing trees native to North America and Asia. The site belongs to the International Association of Botanical Gardens and is one of Timiș County's tourist attractions.
The grounds lie approximately 20 kilometers southeast of Timișoara between two rivers and are accessible for nature observation and walking. The various zones allow visitors to move systematically through different plant regions.
The grounds contain an oak tree over 500 years old, among the oldest trees at the site. Separate zones showcase North American species and Asian flora, recreating different climate regions.
