协会沿革与定位
德国树木学会（DDG）1892 年在德国卡尔斯鲁厄成立，是一个围绕树木和灌木开展工作的登记社团。官方回顾提到，乌尔里希·冯·圣保罗、路德维希·拜斯纳和赫尔曼·扎贝尔是创会的重要推动者；学会关注本土和外来木本植物的认识、保护、种植、养护、研究与利用。学会自述成员约有 1300 人，来自园林、林业、苗圃、植物园、景观设计、植物学和自然保护等领域。
工作方向与交流
DDG 把树木学知识带进园林、城市绿地、森林和自然保护等实际场景。学会通过讲座、课程、研讨会、国内外考察和年度会议，帮助成员辨认树木与灌木，讨论种植和养护，也关注珍稀或受威胁的木本植物。地区小组和“青年树木学家”相关活动让这种交流延伸到不同地区和年龄层。
出版物与资料
学会每年出版《德国树木学会通讯》（MDDG）年刊，内容包括树木形态、生理、分类命名、生态、分布、繁育和应用，也会介绍其他植物区系的木本植物及树木收藏。面向成员的《银杏叶》通常每年出版 4 期，刊登活动信息、培训安排、树种介绍和考察记录；学会的专业藏书存放在哥廷根大学相关林业与森林生态学图书馆。
奖项与青年研究
DDG 每年设立卡米洛·施耐德奖，面向高校和专业院校学生、博士研究人员的树木学研究。2026 年的获奖研究考察了欧洲花楸种子的传播问题；2025 年的获奖工作研究了欧洲中部北美红栎（Quercus rubra）不同种源的生长和气候敏感性。奖项把学会的树木学传统同年轻研究者的课题连接起来。
记录树与公众项目
DDG 与德国树木园协会（GDA）共同发起德国记录树项目，2008 年启动，2009 年开始系统记录。项目在 2010 年上线时公布了 900 棵单株树木资料；官方项目页记载，截至 2024 年 12 月，记录树名录约有 11,500 株木本植物。DDG 还参与德国国家遗产树项目，为特别古老或有重要意义的树木建立公众认识，并作为共同发起者参与欧洲记录树论坛（ECTF）的早期工作。
History and Identity
The Deutsche Dendrologische Gesellschaft, or DDG, was founded in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1892. It is a registered society for people and institutions concerned with the knowledge, protection, planting, care, study, and use of trees and shrubs. An official DDG retrospective identifies Ulrich von St. Paul, Ludwig Beißner, and Hermann Zabel as important forces behind the foundation; Zabel is also described as a founding member. The society’s membership is about 1,300 people from horticulture, forestry, nurseries, botanic gardens, landscape design, botany, and conservation.
Work and Exchange
The DDG connects dendrology with practical work in gardens, parks, urban green space, forestry, and nature conservation. Its programme includes lectures, courses, seminars, excursions in Germany and abroad, and an annual meeting. Regional groups support local activities, while the Young Dendrologists group gives students and early-career participants a place to learn plant identification and discuss current questions about woody plants.
Publications and Library
The society publishes the annual Mitteilungen der Deutschen Dendrologischen Gesellschaft, or MDDG. Articles cover woody-plant morphology, physiology, systematics and nomenclature, ecology, distribution, propagation, and use, as well as collections and plants from other floristic regions. The quarterly Ginkgoblätter carries notices about meetings and training, descriptions of trees and shrubs, and travel reports. The DDG also maintains a specialist collection held in the forestry and forest-ecology library at the University of Göttingen.
Camillo Schneider Prize
Each year the DDG awards the Camillo Schneider Prize for promising scientific work in dendrology. It is intended especially for students and doctoral researchers working on focused woody-plant topics. The 2026 award concerned the dispersal of Service Tree (Cormus domestica) seeds, while the 2025 award recognized research on the growth and climate sensitivity of Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) provenances in Central Europe.
Champion Trees and Public Work
Together with the Gesellschaft Deutsches Arboretum, the DDG launched the Champion Trees and record-tree project in 2008, with systematic work beginning in 2009. Its first web presentation in 2010 listed 900 individual tree records. The project page reports about 11,500 woody plants in the record-tree list in December 2024. The DDG also supports the National Heritage Trees initiative and helped establish the European Champion Tree Forum, created at a 2010 meeting in Wespelaar, Belgium.
