The arboretum contains more than 100 varieties of trees from around the world, including the oldest and largest Cape Chestnut, Kauri, and Tipu trees in the United States.
The Arboretum was founded in 1893 by the Los Angeles Horticultural Society, and planting of rare trees continued through the 1920s. It is the first and oldest arboretum in Southern California. Most of the original trees are still standing. The Arboretum was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1967. Today it is a picnic area in Elysian Park.
