摘要

The genesis of tree collections in Ireland is varied. The National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, was founded in 1795 by the (Royal) Dublin Society with the ongoing purpose to develop plant collections, including trees; foster botanical studies and promote knowledge of plants among the general public. In the 19~(th) century and early 20~(th) century landowners such as the Viscount Powerscourt at Powerscourt, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow and the Marquess of Headfort, Kells, Co. Meath had a keen interest in the tree species then being introduced into cultivation from temperate regions of the world. They planted notable collections of coniferous and broadleaved trees, much of which remain extant. In 1905 State development of forestry provided the impetus for planting some 100 coniferous and broadleaved species in experimental blocks at Avondale, Co. Wicklow. Tree collections were also developed to remember a person or particular commemorative event. A notable illustration of the former being the John F. Kennedy Memorial Park and Arboretum, New Ross, Co. Wexford, an arboretum dating from 1968 comprising some 4,500 trees and shrubs. An example of the latter, the Millennium Arboretum, St. Anne's Park, Raheny, Dublin was planted in 1988 with 1,000 different trees purchased by public subscription, to mark the foundation of Dublin in 888 A.D. Trees are also planted for ceremonial purposes and a unique collection of such trees is cultivated in the grounds of Aras an Uachtarain in the Phoenix Park, Dublin.
