The Long Tree Trail

 

 

 

The Long Tree Trail is a pleasant walk of about 4 kilometers and normally takes about one and a half hours to two hours to complete.
All trees on this walk are identified by plaques with a red number on a white background.
The trees you see represent just a small fraction of the thousands of different taxa within the arboretum, but they do show the global spread of our collection.
The Americas are represented by trees from as far south as Tierra del Fuego in Chile, through Mexico to Oregon in the USA.
From Australia there is the endangered Omio Gum tree that has produced many seedlings here.
Asia is represented by trees from as far east as Japan, through China and the Himalayas to Iran.
From the Mediterranean region we have trees from Spain, Crete and Turkey.
Finally from the UK. there is the rarely seen British whitebeam – Sorbus devoniensis
