Verrès Arboretum La Borna du Laou

the Arboretum La Borna du Laou, in Verrès, is a beautiful botanical garden that houses several species within it that are characteristic of this place.

The varied vegetation can be recognized by means of special signs indicating its botanical name, as well as its Italian and French names. One encounters, in addition to the native species typical of this xerophilous environment, such as downy oak, dogwood, hawthorn, elm, hackberry, locust tree, etc., more demanding species such as cherry, ash, chestnut, pear, and linden, until one discovers true botanical rarities that are spontaneous when related to this type of station: medlar, butcher’s broom, laurel, and spindle tree.
