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


You could buy yourself a book about trees? remember books?




I have the Collins guide, but I don't take it (or my camera) everywhere
I go.

You could take leaves home and look them up.


Yes, then there might be a 50% chance of identifying the tree! :-)


100%. from books.
