Arboretum workers asked how climate change is hitting their collections
Original: Question for everyone who is working in an # Arboretum . How is your plant collection doing in regard of climate change,
A question circulating online asks people working in arboretums how their plant collections are coping with climate change, what measures they are taking, and whether the effort is worthwhile. It has drawn responses from horticultural staff discussing drought stress, species losses, watering limits and whether traditional collection practices can survive hotter, drier conditions.
Why now: Prolonged droughts and heat are visibly stressing tree collections, prompting professionals to compare experiences.
