Collections
Plant
collections are the foundation of the JC Raulston Arboretum. Some of these collections
represent what we feel are the most comprehensive in the Southeast, the United States,
or even in the world. Others simply represent collections that are more substantial
than any others to be found in the southeastern United States, or they represent a representative
assemblage of the best, new, or significant, members of the group. Our collection
contains over 5,000 different kinds of plants. Given our space limitations, the following
list is particularly striking:
- Boxwood Collection
- Buckeye Collection
- Conifer Collection (including numerous one-of-a kind dwarf loblolly pines)
- Herbaceous Perennials
- Holly Collection
- Magnolia Collection
- Maple Collection (including an extensive collection of Japanese maples)
- Oak Collection
- Redbud Collection
- Spicebush Collection
- Styracaceae Collection
- Viburnum Collection
