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 'Bow Bells'
Flowers are beginning to open now on our earliest camellias. Look out for the cheery pink trumpet-shaped blooms of Camellia 'Bow Bells' (Camellia x williamsii 'Bow Bells') in Savill Glade.
Cornelian cherries
The Cornelian cherries (Cornus mas) provide a welcome burst of yellow at this time of year with masses of small flowers on bare branches. Fine examples can be found on Morley Ride and Mitchell Drive.
Hamamelis vernalis
Colour and scent are still on offer from our long-lasting Witch hazels which can be seen across the site, including the Ozark witch hazel (Hamamelis vernalis) tucked into Concord Glade near the walkway. It's deep yellow curled and crinkled flowers emerge from red calyxes.
