The Friendship Tree grew to prominence from the numerous citrus sprigs grafted to it by people of 167 countries from around the world, as symbols of international friendship and living in harmony with nature.[1] HistoryThe Friendship Tree was planted as a scientific experiment to create a new hybrid of mandarin orange, by FM Zorin in Sochi Agricultural and garden Experiment Station. The tree's experiments became a collection of 45 different types of citrus fruit grafted on it, with more planted in the botanical gardens.[1] In 1940 the arctic explorer and Soviet scientist Otto Yulyevich Schmidt visited the tree and botanical garden. As a token of his love for the nature of his Soviet Union homeland, he grafted a new citrus bud on the crown of the tree.[1] People from various countries, nationalities, professions, and religions later continued the example, creating a tradition. The experimental citrus tree was named the Friendship Tree in 1957, upon the suggestion of Vietnamese doctors.[1] Commemorative grafts have been added onto the Tree of Friendship by many heads of state; prominent public figures and politicians; representatives from the sciences, arts, and culture; as well as astronauts, athletes, military, and religious figures.[1] Among these are the Soviet figure skating Olympic Gold Medalist Irina Rodnina in 1976, and Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon in 2013. Each graft has a round metal tag attached, with the grafter's name and event's date. Botanical gardenThe Subtropical Botanical Garden is a unique botanical garden and a natural history museum, and part of the Russian Institute of Floriculture and Subtropical Crops. The garden features the Friendship Tree and Friendship Tree Garden Museum, and also living collections of subtropical fruit, flowering, and subtropical climate ornamental plants.[1] Plants of eighty botanical families are grown and displayed here.[1] The botanical garden also has garden paths, ornamental ponds, and garden sitting lounges.
