A visit to the Woodland meadows <\/a>in Eastern North America during the spring is one of the most stunning experiences the arboretum has to offer. Enjoy beautiful broadleaves such as hawthorn (Crataegus intricata<\/em>), northern red oak (Quercus rubra<\/em>), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica<\/em>), American elm (Ulmus americana<\/em>) and silver maple (Acer saccharinum<\/em>). If you follow the path from the meadow that leads up the hill you can find a large group of eastern white cedars<\/a> (Thuja occidentalis<\/em>), here growing in its natural form and not as the slender cultivars you see in gardens.

On the upper side of Eastern North America, where L\u00e4gdaleden<\/a> passes, we have made new plantings of several broadleaves, e.g. several of the many maples and birches found in the region. Here we also find our rarest tree, an American chestnut (Castanea dentata<\/em>). Rare in the sense that it is almost extinct from its natural habitat and that it is not expected to survive this far up north. This region\u2019s most common conifer, the balsam fir <\/a>(Abies balsamifera<\/em>) grows here too. The wild flora in this part of the arboretum is in itself spectacular, especially in the Fern valley <\/a>with enormous stands of our biggest fern, the ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris<\/em>). This species is circumpolar and common also in North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
