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


Irrelevant???

You asked for "a plan of such things online".

You were directed to the online results of The Urban Tree Survey, which
identifies individual trees and mapped their location.


Janet.



Actually I was not directed to the Urban Tree Survey but to the link
below it, which is another "identify this tree" guide. However the
survey sounds interesting, so thanks for mentioning it.
My initial point remains though. Somewhere there must exist a plan
showing at least the well established trees in the Royal Parks, and this
would be of great interest to visitors. The Trees of London site
http://www.londontrees.co.uk

is very informative, but doesn't include any of the main parks.
