An arboretum is a collection of diverse, often exotic, woody plants; this can be, for example, a botanical garden in which mainly trees and shrubs are planted. It is called a fruticetum if only shrubs are planted. If only conifers are planted in an arboretum, it is called a pinetum.
An arboretum (plural: arboreta) in a general sense is a botanical collection composed exclusively of trees. More commonly a modern arboretum is a botanical garden containing living collections of woody plants and is intended at least in part for scientific study.
An arboretum specializing in growing conifers is known as a pinetum. Other specialist arboreta include saliceta (willows), populeta (poplar), and querceta (oaks).
The term arboretum was first used in an English publication by John Claudius Loudon in 1833 in The Gardener's Magazine but the concept was already long-established by then.
