An arboretum (Latin arbor "tree") is a collection (not growing in planters) of various, often exotic woody plants; This can be, for example, a botanical garden in which mainly trees and shrubs are planted. One speaks of a Fruticetum, if only bushes are planted. If only conifers are planted in an arboretum, it is called Pinetum.

After the eleventh edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1911, the term was first used by John Claudius Loudon in 1838 in a book about trees.

Germany's arboretum, the largest in terms of area in terms of area, is located in the Burgholz State Forest on the city of Wuppertal. There, about 250 hectares of woodland from three continents are examined for their environmental compatibility and their growth behavior in the Central European climate zone.

A smaller collection is the Arboretum Neuss. In the Ruhr area, in the south of Dortmund city center, there is the Rombergpark, an old botanical garden and landscaped park.
