Florida Citrus Arboretum
The Florida Citrus Arboretum at Winter Haven is a collection of more than 250 cultivars of citrus, or citrus relatives. It is maintained by the Citrus Budwood Registration Bureau of the Division of Plant Industry. The arboretum was established in 1975 to ensure that valuable citrus and citrus-related germplasm are always available for study and use in Florida.
A valuable tool for research and education, the arboretum comprises six and one-half acres of trees and shrubs for horticultural study, germplasm source, and exhibition.
The arboretum is open to the public. Self-guided tours for groups may be arranged in advance by writing or calling for appointments. Fruiting trees are best observed between November and March.
Visitors are requested NOT to cut or pinch the foliage or otherwise handle plants in the arboretum unless approval is obtained from authorized Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration personnel.
Hours: Monday thru Friday 10:00a.m. till 4:00p.m. October 1st to March 1st. Arboretum is closed on rainy days and access is restricted all mornings until the foliage is dry.
Visitors are asked to sign the guest register in the Shaw Building before touring the Arboretum.
