Our arboretum in a general sense is a botanical collection composed exclusively of Aquilaria variety of species. Originally created as a section in our agroforestry for specimens of mostly non-local species, serving as living collections of agarwood producing trees and is intended for scientific study. We have here the Exotic, Indigenous and endemic species.
