Simeria Arboritum (dendrological park), a natural reserve since 1995 was originally a park surrounding Gyulay (later Ocskay) Castle, built at the beginning of the 19th century. The castle became the property of Bela Fay after 1918. Bela Fay was a naturalist and a member of the Hungarian Science Academy. The Forest Research and Experiments Station in Simeria is opened here since 1954.
The dendrological park (73 ha) dates back to the 18th century and was enlarged between the years 1870 – 1880 with a series of plants originating from the Far East and from Northern America. There are currently over 2.165 species of plants and trees inside the park, one of the oldest, most valuable and picturesque collection of exotic and native trees and shrubs in Romania. The dendrological park was ranked third in Europe by the British Encyclopedia and eleventh on a global scale. www.ourheritage.ro/en/monuments/dendrological-park-2/
The park is placed in Simeria, Hunedoara county, Romania, in the flood plain and on the secondary terrace of Mures River, at 200 m altitude. The climatic conditions are characterized by annual average temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius and 578 mm annual precipitations.

Das Trinity College Dublin ist eine renommierte Universität in der irischen Hauptstadt Dublin.
Das Trinity College wurde 1592 von Königin Elisabeth I. als College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity („Universität der Heiligen und Einigen Dreifaltigkeit“) für protestantische Studenten gegründet. Die Gebäude hatten zuvor als Augustinerkloster gedient.
Trinity College (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide) is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, a research university in Ireland. The college was founded in 1592 as the "mother" of a new university. Trinity College was set up in part to consolidate the rule of the Tudor monarchy in Ireland, and it was seen as the university of the Protestant Ascendancy for much of its history.From 1956 to 1970, the Catholic Church in Ireland forbade its adherents from attending Trinity College without permission from their archbishop. Women were first admitted to the college as full members in January 1904.[9]

Olea europaea L. subsp.oleaster - Monumento Naturale “oleastro millenario di Luras”, Sardegna
Alla base l’albero ha una circonferenza di 20 metri che si riducono poi a 12 all’ altezza di 1,2 metri, circonferenza che mantiene fino agli 8 metri. L”altezza totale si aggira intorno ai 14 metri.
L’età di S’Ozzastru sarebbe compresa tra i 3000 e i 4000 anni, cosa che lo rende non solo il patriarca d’Italia ma uno degli alberi più antichi di tutta l’Europa.

To stand under this magnificent atlas cedar tree is to know another world.
The figure standing in the shade, on the path to the right of the tree, gives you an idea of its size. The canopy and the cool air seem to descend upon you in that space.

No Parque das Termas de Vizela, destaca-se a sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), uma espécie oriunda da Sierra Nevada, na Califórnia, que foi introduzida em Portugal no século XIX, num período marcado pela valorização de espécies botânicas exóticas. Estas árvores podem ultrapassar os 80 metros de altura e viver mais de três mil anos, sendo apreciadas pela sua robustez e longevidade. A sequoia contrasta com a vegetação ribeirinha do parque, enquanto contribui para a diversidade botânica local e proporciona sombra e interesse paisagístico junto ao lago. Além desta, a sequoia-vermelha (Sequoia sempervirens), também presente no espaço, é igualmente valorizada por seu rápido crescimento e longevidade, refletindo o intercâmbio botânico entre continentes e o apelo estético que as árvores monumentais trazem aos jardins históricos do norte de Portugal.
In the Vizela Thermal Park, the sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) stands out, a species originating from the Sierra Nevada, California, which was introduced in Portugal in the 19th century, in a period marked by the appreciation of exotic botanical species. These trees can exceed 80 meters in height and live more than three thousand years, being appreciated for their robustness and longevity. The sequoia contrasts with the park's riparian vegetation, while contributing to the local botanical diversity and providing shade and landscape interest along the lake. In addition to this, the redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), also present in the space, is equally valued for its rapid growth and longevity, reflecting the botanical exchange between continents and the aesthetic appeal that monumental trees bring to the historic gardens of northern Portugal.
Trees whose size, shape, age, rarity, biological origin, beauty or presence in myths or traditions have led them to be classified and protected as monumental or unique trees.
All of them silently contribute to the fight against climate change. They are our allies and will play a vital role inside cities.
There are about five hundred monumental trees in the city of Valencia.
Here's also a monument for the poet Teodoro Llorente.

De Algemene begraafplaats Rotterdam in Crooswijk is een rijksmonument. Tot voor kort stond daar één van de oudste en dikste bomen van Rotterdam, een rode beuk. In 1982 is de boom geboord en toen bleek hij 160 jaar oud. Enige jaren geleden is hij omgehakt, er resteert nog een grote met klimop overwoekerde stomp. Er staat nog een andere rode beuk, die waarschijnlijk tegelijkertijd is geplant. De begraafplaats is in 1832 opengesteld en in 1915 is een uitbreiding aan de hand van Springer gerealiseerd. Op het oude deel staan meerdere mooie bomen en bomenlanen. Bij de ingang een platanenlaan, een kastanjelaan van 50 jaar oude kastanjes een kastanjelaan met kastanjes van de cultivar Baumannii met zeer dikke oude kastanjes en een prachtige populierenlaan.

The Rotterdam General Cemetery in Crooswijk is a national monument. Until recently, one of the oldest and thickest trees in Rotterdam, a red beech, stood there. The tree was drilled in 1982 and it turned out to be 160 years old. It was cut down a few years ago, leaving a large stump overgrown with ivy. There is another red beech, probably planted at the same time. The cemetery was opened in 1832 and an extension based on Springer was realized in 1915. The old part has several beautiful trees and tree-lined avenues. At the entrance a plane tree avenue, a chestnut avenue of 50 year old chestnuts, a chestnut avenue with chestnuts of the Baumannii cultivar with very thick old chestnuts and a beautiful poplar avenue.

A living fossil
This tree was once one of the most widespread tree species in the Northern hemisphere (during the Tertiary period). Fossils have been found across the northern hemisphere, including Greenland and Spitzbergen, dating from when the continents were further south, and close together sharing a common flora.
In 1941 Shigeru Miki of Japan was reclassifying fossil remains that had been incorrectly classified as Sequoia and Taxodium[1]. Due to its resemblance to the North American coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), he named the tree species Metasequoia, which means "almost a sequoia, sequoia-ish". Botanists think this species is the ancestor of the present day coast redwood. To summarize: at that time, the tree was only known as an fossil tree species, extinct for millions of years.
In late autumn of 1947, T. Kan, a Chinese forester of Beijing National Central University, found three strange deciduous trees he had never seen before and during an expedition that followed, a lot of the trees were apparently still alive in a remote area in Southwest China[1].
In 1948 it was discovered that the species belonged to the already described fossil genus Metasequoia and, in an effort to preserve the tree species from logging, it was immediatly spread along arboreta everywhere in the world.

This magnificent tree in the grounds of Lacock Abbey is a Cedar of Lebanon, estimated at more than 170 years old.
This tree is registered on the Monumental Trees website.
One of my favorite views at Schloss Bad Homburg is the magnificent 200 year old Lebanon Cedar that stands and shades a significant portion of the front lawn of the schloss. Look for the people underneath it to get a sense of the scale of the tree.
