Today it remains a unique area of introduced horticultural plants in northern Europe. Nearly 100 conifer species, more than 200 broad-leaved tree species and numerous shrubs, vines, bulbs and perennials have been planted in the arboretum, covering 120 hectares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arboretum Mustila is especially famous for its rhododendrons and azaleas. In June a colourful sea of flowers can be&nbsp;seen in the Rhododendron Valley when hundreds of different species and hybrids are blooming. Another spectacular season of colours is&nbsp;in the autumn when the deciduous trees burst into a glow of red, orange and yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the conifers are planted\u00a0in large stands rather than single specimens creating\u00a0an illusion of woods in exotic countries. Stands of hemlocks,\u00a0Western red-cedar, Pacific silver fir or cathedral-like Serbian spruce are the favourite places for many visitors throughout the year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arboretum Mustila near Elim\u00e4ki in Southern Finland was founded in 1902 as a test ground for exotic tree species.
