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.
Seven Son flower
The quaintly-named Seven Son flower is a pretty tree from China. It has seven-branched flower heads and its white scented flowers are popular with butterflies and bees, Heptacodium miconioides. It can be found as you approach Acer Glade from Main Drive in the Old Arboretum.
Mountain ash
Mountain ash trees are currently displaying fruits in a range of colours, and Sorbus pseudohupehensis on Main Drive is particularly attractive with bunches of delicate pink berries against pale green leaves.
Sweet chestnut
Sweet chestnuts continue to delight across the arboretum with their abundant bright green spiky fruits. Pictured: Castanea sativa.
