Every time I stroll round a London park I'm frustrated by not knowing
the names of the trees, particularly those that have obviously been
around for ever. There is one in flower in St.James Park at the moment
which everyone was stopping to admire (and smell). These days one might
expect there to be a plan of such things online. Sure, in this case it
would mostly be plane, but there are some unusual ones too. Anyone any
ideas how one might get this information? TIA

GIYF. Try one of these.

Thanks, but kind of irrelevant to the question


You want to know what the trees are. Chris gave you two sites to help
you!


The Royal Parks Dept presumably know what the trees are. My question was
whether such information is available to the public. Why would it not
be? Perhaps it's a state secret


To me it looks like you need a sort of Google Earth with tree name.
I've just tried zooming in to St.James Park and it is possible to see
individual trees. Perhaps somebody should start labeling them. Have a
look at St.James Park and tell us which tree you want to know about?
Someone in this group may be able to recognise and identify it from
above.
