Window on Westonbirt Arboretum

Body

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.

Magnolia

Magnolia sprengeri

Camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias are dominating this week with the Old Arboretum in a blaze of colour, especially in and around Savill Glade.

The beautiful deep pink flowered Magnolia sprengeri on Main Drive and Circular Drive should not be missed, while the White magnolia (actually a very pale pink) is equally dramatic in Savill Glade. 

Camellia 'Adolphe Audusson'

There are camellias in shades of pink, white, red, and yellow. We particularly like Camellia 'Adolphe Audusson' behind Great Oak Hall for its semi-double deep red flowers.

Chinese winterhazel 

Meanwhile in Savill Glade, Holford Ride and over in Sand Earth the lovely Chinese winterhazel glows with delicate pale yellow chains of flowers.
