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.
Eucryphia
Our magnificent Eucryphia at the end of Sir George's Walk (Eucryphia nymansensis 'Nymansay') is a hybrid of two Chilean species cultivated at the Sussex garden Nymans. At present it is covered with beautiful scented white flowers with pink stamens. Bees love them, as do our visitors.
Bladdernut
There are Bladdernuts to be found across the arboretum. Most of them have green pods but we particularly like these pink-tinged pods seen on Staphylea pinnata at the lower end of Maple Loop.
Acer cissifolium
Look for the Vine-leaved maples on Loop Walk and in Acer Glade that are also producing generous bunches of green and pink winged fruit. (Pictured: Acer cissifolium)
