Approximately 200 years ago, the tree was believed to be extinct, but today, the spectacular blossom stands proudly within The Alnwick Garden, where it flowers each spring for around two weeks to create an oasis of natural beauty.
While the blossoms are at their best, visitors are encouraged to visit and enjoy a scenic stroll and perhaps a swing.
