According to historians of botany, history of botanic research in a natural or administrative region is linked to the history of research of its flora, and, accordingly, dendroflora. On the basis of this statement, several methods and approaches are proposed for comparative historical studies of the dendrological field. Specifics of dendrofloristics as a mainstream dendrology field are outlined by use of logical, regional, geographic, systemic, functional and other methods. Historically, dendrofloristics was based on research of populations of wooden plants. History of studies of wooden plants in the evolutionary epoch in the context of building up the complex dendrological methodology is analyzed. These studies are associated with the rise of phytocentric field in dendrology. Empirical and visual dendrofloristic methods of the past classification epoch were replaced by sounder approaches of the evolutionary epoch in the last third of XIX century. They are based on identification of population integrity of dendrological objects as elements of natural systems. At the same time, revival of ethnobotanic approaches poses question about integration of floristic and phytocenotic methods, and creation of separate dendrological methodology on the systemic basis.
