The Trsteno Arboretum-since1498

The Trsteno Arboretum is located near Dubrovnik, in the small municipality of Trsteno, and covers an area of about 25 ha. Trsteno was established by the end of the fifteenth century as a park and summer residence of the Dubrovnik patrician family Gucetic. It has been protected and declared as property of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts since 1950, and in 1962 as a monument of garden architecture and a collection of decorative trees and bushes.It is also one the oldest arboretums in Europe

Arboretum Opeka-since 17th century

Arboretum Opeka is large and scenic park in English landscape style at the edge of village Vinica, near Varazdin.Although the park around the castle existed in the 17th century, his premeditated and planned formation did not occur until the early 19th century, when its owners were Counts Draskovic.
It is famous for its collection of variety of coniferous trees (like Thuja, Taxodium, Taxus...) - some of them grew into remarkable size - and wonderful broadleaf trees, a unique collection in this part of Europe. It's believed to be the most significant arboretum in Croatia on the 64 acres large area. Most scenic will be in the autumn when trees become colored and thus being in dramatic contrast to the coniferous trees and shrubs.

Castle is in poor condition

I love the cypress knees and cacti in that gardens. Are some of them arboretum?

I honestly do not know. But I suspect that they are, because in these gardens through the centuries came plants from all over the world

nice thread. All these parks are really beautiful.

GREAT PICS!!

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures. I am a plant collector myself so it's been great seeing all the specimens growing in Croatia!
