Trees
A living museum
Each year, in November and March selon les espèces, l’Arboretum introduit de nouvelles essences sur son site. Au fil des années ce musée vivant de l’arbre s’est enrichi de nombreux feuillus et conifères qui font référence à l’étage montagnard.
Since its creation, more than 400 trees have been planted including 137 exotic species, successfully acclimatised.
A directory of spontaneous or introduced trees, shrubs and shrubs, produced by Dr Henri Sandoz and Dr Guy Aubert is available for download in the scientific committee section.(Lien Rubrique).
