The arboretum covers 47,031 m², and contains about 350 species (500 varieties) of woody plants and flowers, with excellent collections of Camellia japonica (130 varieties), Camellia sasanqua (30 varieties), and flowering lotus (including 250 varieties of Nelumbo nucifera and Nelumbo lutea).
The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including Rosa odorata, Camellia japonica, Persea americana, Citrus unshiu, Cassia species, Ricinus communis, Acacia species and Acmena smithii.
Underneath these trees are planted a number of shrubs, most noticeably Laurels (Aucuba japonica) and Hollies (such as Ilex aquifolium), and several Camellias (Camellia japonica) and a Fatsia japonica.
