Swamp cypress
Arboretum Kórnickie

31.07 31 July 2024

The most famous tree in the Kórnik Arboretum is the swamp cypress with its characteristic roots (pneumatophores) growing above the ground surface. It was brought to Kórnik in 1845 and is the most famous swamp cypress in Poland.

It is a naturally occurring species in southeastern North America where it grows in swamps, river valleys and floodplains. Growing in swampy soil, it produces so-called pneumatophores, roots that grow out of the ground beneath its crown, serving to ventilate the root system, which is often submerged in water. The first cypress trees were brought to Kórnik by Tytus Działyński - the creator not only of the exuberant Kórnik library, but also of a collection of trees and shrubs

About Arboretum
Arboretum Kórnickie

31.07 31 July 2024

The term arboretum comes from the Latin word “arbor” (tree) and means an area where woody plants are gathered.

The Kórnik Arboretum is the oldest and one of the richest arboreta in Poland and Central Europe. It was founded in 1826 by Tytus Dzialynski in the park surrounding the Castle. The first research institution was established here in 1933 - the Department of Tree and Forest Research. In 1952, the Department became part of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Currently, the Arboretum is part of the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
