What's looking good
Our Window on Westonbirt Volunteers have explored the arboretum this week to inform our visitors of the following not to be missed seasonal highlights.
Use Arboretum Explorer to help you discover more tree locations around the arboretum.
Double gean
The Cherry trees are a delight at the moment. The Double gean (Prunus avium 'Plena') in Cherry Glade has glorious pure white double flowers which hang elegantly in clusters all over the branches.
Malus halliana
The flowering Crab apple (Malus halliana) along Mitchell Drive looks stunning with its masses of pink blossom.
Bladdernut
Also on Mitchell Drive is the Bladdernut (Staphylea pinnata). It has long-hanging clusters of fragrant, bell-shaped, white flowers tinged with pink which will soon be followed by pale green inflated fruit. There is also an example on Maple Loop in Silk Wood.
