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.
Sarcococca hookeriana
One of the delights of winter, the Christmas box (Sarcococca hookeriana) was introduced from China in 1907 by Ernest Wilson. The scent from the small white flowers will draw your attention as you pass by. You'll find it just behind the Great Oak Hall.
Cornelian cherry
The Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) provides a welcome burst of yellow all around the Arboretum at this time of year with its clusters of tiny, bright, showy flowers.
Camellia x williamsii 'Bow Bells'
Still looking amazing is 'Bow Bells' (Camellia x williamsii 'Bow Bells'). Its masses of cheerful pink trumpet-shaped flowers can be seen in Savill Glade in the Old Arboretum and in Sand Earth in Silk Wood where you will also find alongside it Camellia japonica 'Gloire de Nantes' vying for attention.
