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.

Hickories

You'll find rich butter yellows in the leaves of the Hickories on Broad Drive and the Yellowwoods on Willesley Drive - even the wood of this American tree contains a yellow dye.


 

Sugar maple

The maples are showing off a variety of reds, oranges and golds as in the lovely Sugar maples on Willesley Drive and Loop Walk.
