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.
Persian ironwood
One of Westonbirt’s signature plants, the Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica), is providing a stunning display across the arboretum, showing variable shades of yellow, orange and red.
Black walnut
The Black walnut (Juglans nigra) is a majestic tree native to North America. It has pinnate leaves, that turn a striking yellow and gold colour in the autumn. Trees can be found throughout the arboretum with a fine specimen located off Main Drive.
Tupelo
Another stunning specimen tree in autumn, with its rugged bark and glorious red, orange and yellow leaves, is the Tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica). The tree is native to North America and can be found on Broad Drive and The Link in Silk Wood.
