The North Dakota State University (NDSU) Department of Plant Sciences will host an educational event and tour called Branch Out: The NDSU Arboretum Experience at the NDSU Research Arboretum on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The 35-acre arboretum is tucked into the countryside between Absaraka and Amenia, North Dakota, and contains the largest collection of trees and shrubs in North Dakota with more than 5,000 different species, cultivars and selections.
“The event is an amazing opportunity to tour the research arboretum and learn about the woody plant research being conducted,” says Todd West, NDSU Department of Plant Sciences professor and Director of the NDSU Woody Plant Improvement Program.
