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.
Acer Red Wood Group 'Eddisbury'
To welcome autumn the maples are beginning to put on a colourful show and none more so than the Japanese maple (Acer Red Wood Group 'Eddisbury') in Silk Wood’s Maple Loop with its vibrant yellow-orange leaves.
Harlequin glorybower
The distinctive fruits of Harlequin glorybower (Clerodendrum trichotomum) are worth checking out at the top of Morley Ride and on Concord Glade. Each crimson-maroon calyx bears a bright turquoise-blue berry which eventually turns black when ripe.
Magnolia tripetala
After the flowers disappear on the Magnolias the fruits are quite spectacular and Magnolia tripetala in Savill Glade In the Old Arboretum has now produced pink-red cone shaped fruits.
