What's looking good
Our Window on Westonbirt Volunteers have explored the arboretum this week to inform our visitors of the following not to be missed seasonal highlights.
Use Arboretum Explorer to help you discover more tree locations around the arboretum.
Camellia
This week's show-stopper is the early flowering Camellia (Camellia japonica 'Gloire de Nantes) which can be found in Sand Earth in Silk Wood. It has abundant ,rich pink rosette-like flowers standing out against glossy green leaves.
Christmas Box
Growing just behind the Great Oak Hall is the Christmas Box (Sarcococca hookeriana var. hookeriana). It has small white scented flowers and berries and its perfume carries through the cold winter air.
Cornelian cherry
The variegated cornelian cherry (Cornus mas 'Aurea Elegantissima'} on Mitchell Drive provides a welcome burst of yellow in late winter with its clusters of small, bright showy flowers.
