State Arboretum of Utah

The State Arboretum of Utah (convert|1500|acre|km2|abbr=on) is an arboretum located across the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as on an additional site (convert|147|acre|km2|abbr=on) at the Red Butte Garden and Arboretum. The campus grounds are open to the public every day. The conservatory is open by appointment only.

The State Arboretum was established in 1961. It now contains over 8,000 trees (300 species and varieties, including over 40 taxa of conifers), and what is claimed to be the largest Russian Olive ("Elaeagnus angustifolia") collection in the United States. The arboretum's conservatory (convert|1100|sqft|m2|abbr=on) contains over 400 exotic taxa. The Red Butte Garden and Arboretum contains more than 300 large conifers and an extensive collection of dwarf conifers (over 75 taxa).
