The inventory carried out in the 19^th century historic park in Swadzim near Poznań recorded the total of 1886 trees, bushes and climbers deriving from 64 species. At the present time, the park is neglected and a plan for its revalorization is badly needed. Tree composition is dominated by Quercus robur, Robinia pseudoacacia, Acer pseudoplatanus, Carpinus betulus, Q. rubra and Fagus sylvatica, while that of bushes – by Sambucus nigra. The height of trees ranges from 16 to 20 m and their circumferences – from 45 to 114 cm; the health condition of the majority of trees is good or even very good. Single specimens of rare and threatened species were found to occur. The total of 101 splendid trees from 26 taxon were inventoried among which A. pseudoplatanus, A. platanoides, Aesculus hippocastanum, R. pseudoacacia and C. betulus dominated. In comparison with the Rataj’s inventory from 1976, transformations are apparent in the dendroflora of the park towards its naturalisation. The tree stand requires cutting and tending intervention.
