In the article, we analyzed historic stages and dynamics of forming the collection of woody plants in Dendrological garden named after R.I. Schroeder, Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy – the oldest historical park in Moscow, created by the genius of the patriarch of Russian gardening with Danish roots – Richard Ivanovich Schroeder (1822-1903). During its heyday at the end of 19th century, the gardenʼs collection included 1038 species, varieties, forms and hybrids, contributing to the wide distribution of rare and interesting species throughout Russia. Today the gene pool of the dendrological garden includes representatives of 6 families of Gymnosperms, belonging to 17 genera, and 45 families of Angiosperms, belonging to 119 genera, in total – almost 900 species, varieties, forms and hybrids. The most numerous families in terms of the number of species and forms are Rosaceae (127), Pinaceae (84), Cupressaceae (63) and Ericaceae (45). The garden contains plants listed in the Red Book of Russian Federation with different categories of rarity (30 species from 25 genera and 17 families); the collection is constantly being replenished in order to enrich the cultural flora and protect the biodiversity and gene pool of plant species on the world through field collections and expeditions, as well as exchange with other botanical institutions. Currently, the dendrological garden named after R.I. Schroeder Moscow Timiryazevʼs Agricultural Academy is a unique living collection and base for the study of woody plants in Central Russia.
