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.
Acer micranthum
There are some fascinating fruits to be seen across the arboretum this week and some of our acers are displaying clusters of red, pink or green winged fruits. For example, a pretty group of young Small-flowered maples off Morley Ride (Acer micranthum).
Japanese walnut
Our grand Japanese walnut (sometimes called heartwood) on Broad Drive is also bearing plentiful bunches of pale green slightly heart-shaped fruits amongst dark green leaves. (Juglans ailantifolia var. cordiformis).
Clethra barbinervis
And for flowers, head to the top of Savill Glade where you'll find two striking Clethra trees with drooping spikes of small white blooms. They're also delicately scented, if caught at the right time. (Clethra barbinervis).
