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.
Lantern tree
The Lantern tree (Crinodendron hookerianum) has clusters of eye-catching crimson lantern-like flowers which contrast beautifully with the narrow dark green leaves. The flowers are displayed in mid-air for the humming birds of its native Chilean habitat to pollinate. There is a good specimen along Main Drive.
Rhododendron 'Trilby'
A stand-out Rhododendron also along Main Drive is 'Trilby' with its deep red flowers with darkly sprinkled centres.
Deutzia x magnifica
One of our prettiest Deutzias is the hybrid Deutzia x magnifica on Mitchell Drive. It has clusters of feathery white flowers from mid-spring to mid-summer.
