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.
Indian horse chestnut
The last of our great horse chestnuts to flower is the Indian horse chestnut. These are now covered with large cone-shaped flowers of white flushed with yellow and pink. Fine examples can be seen along Main Drive and Barn Walk.
Calico bush
Tucked away beside the fence along Main Drive is the pretty Calico bush. Its deep pink crimped buds and pale pink flowers look as if they could be made of icing sugar.
Mock orange
And you should pick up the sweet scent of the Mock orange shrubs as you walk across the site. There are striking groups along Willesley Drive and Main Drive.
