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.
Vine-leaved maples
Our maples have a lot to offer apart from their familiar autumn colours. They are now showing off their fruits. We particularly like the Vine-leaved maples (Acer cissifolium) on The Link, Broad Drive, Holford and Morley Rides for their generous clusters of pink-tinged green fruits.
Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea'
The magnificent Golden Indian bean tree (Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea') on Main Drive is an eye-catching delight with its large heart-shaped yellow-green leaves.
Wingnut tree
And we have an impressive collection of grand Wingnut trees at Westonbirt (Pterocarya x rehderiana). Look out for their multiple strings of lime-green wing-like fruits on Willesley Drive, Sir George's Walk and Pool Gate.
