US National Arboretum Asian CollectionDate: 10/11/2009 - 10/11/2010 The Asian Collections are some of the Arboretum`s most dramatic. The terrain slopes steeply from the heights of Hickey Hill to the placid Anacostia River, and a dazzling array of plants adorns the slopes; in this collection, something is blooming in every month of the year. The south facing slopes also impart one of the warmest microclimates available at the Arboretum; Taiwania, Daphniphyllum, and other plants that are tender north of Washington, DC are grown here.
