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.
Tilia 'Westonbirt Dainty'
Westonbirt's limes were awarded national collection status in 2008 and certainly they are stunning at the moment. Along with the wonderful Lime Avenue look out for the delicate Tilia 'Westonbirt Dainty' on Loop Walk. With its white flowers and dark green leaves, not to mention the intoxicating scent, it's not to be missed.
Mock Orange
Throughout the arboretum the Mock Orange (Philadelphus) are flowering this month. Their sweetly fragrant white flowers resemble orange blossom, hence the common name.
Rhododendron 'Polar Bear'
Probably one of the last Rhododendrons to flower at Westonbirt this year is the majestic Rhododendron 'Polar Bear'. It has large white lily-like flowers and can be glimpsed from Main Drive.
