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.
Winged spindle
You can’t miss the lovely Winged spindle shrubs along Broad Drive in Silk Wood and Morley Ride in the Old Arboretum. They will catch your eye with their pretty deep pink leaves. (Pictured: Euonymus alatus).
Cladrastis kentukea
Along Willesley Drive in Silk Wood the leaves of the Yellow-woods glow in the sunshine as they turn a bright buttercup yellow (Pictured: Cladrastis kentukea). The bark of this tree also produces a yellow die, hence the name.
Acer japonicum 'Vitifolium'
There are plenty of striking red and orange leaves to be found in Maple Loop, Acer Glade and elsewhere, including Full moon maples across the site. Pictured: Acer japonicum 'Vitifolium'.
