Our Window on Westonbirt volunteers have explored the arboretum this week to let you know what's looking its best. Keep an eye out for the following seasonal highlights - they're not to be missed! You can also use our Arboretum Explorer to discover more tree locations around the arboretum.
Japanese maple cultivar 'Eddisbury'
The Japanese maple cultivar 'Eddisbury' (Acer (Red Wood Group) 'Eddisbury') is always one of the earliest to colour in Maple Loop. It's yellow-gold leaves flushed with red are stunning in the sunshine and a sign that autumn is definitely here.
Spindle
Another autumn favourite is the spindle and there is a lovely group at the top of Morley Ride displaying delicate pink leaves and red bead-like capsules. Euonymus oxyphyllus.
Cedrus atlantica
Don't forget to look out for fruits and cones, with the hawthorns, rowans and cedars putting on fine displays in this abundant fruiting year (Cedrus atlantica, Glauca Group).
