Davidson Arboretum has a focus on ornamental trees and some shrubs from the northern hemisphere which are predominantly deciduous. The collection includes different species of maple, ash, conifer and oak, flowering trees such as blossoms and magnolias, and many other rare and special trees.

From May to June, the gardens transform with deciduous species bursting into a brilliant display of autumn colours.
