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.
Beauty bush
While rhododendrons are still putting on a grand show this it's also worth looking out for some of the smaller flowering shrubs in the arboretum. Our top pick this week is the Beauty bush at the lower end of Willesley Drive (Kolkwitzia amabilis). This shrub, from China, is covered in delicate trumpet-shaped blooms of pale pink with yellow centres.
Enkianthus campanulatus
Redvein enkianthus (Enkianthus campanulatus) has clusters of small bell-shaped flowers which are white streaked with red. They can be found on Main Drive and Willesley Drive.
Deutzias
And the masses of feathery pure white flowers on the Deutzias (Deutzia x magnifica) will certainly catch your eye along Mitchell drive, Main Drive and Willesley Drive.
