tree identification?
Walking the Mortimer Trail in Shropshire, I passed through 'The
Warren' on the south side of Wapley Hill SO 346621. I'm not very familiar with trees in the UK, but thought the deciduous plantation flanking the path was beautiful and would like to know what kind of trees these are. Beech, lime? |

tree identification?
Check out the Forestry Commission website: www.forestry.gov.uk or to get to the relevant page directly like this: Go to Google images and put 'Wapley Hill' into the search box. (I don't use Tiny as I can't get my head around it! / rarely works with me) Go to the 3rd image on the top row, which shows a bloke sat at a wooden bench. Click on that image and the Forsety Commission page for Wapley Hill will come up... where it says: 'This trail takes the walker through young douglas fir plantations, beech avenues and forest glades and up to the Iron Age hill fort. In April and May the bluebells are a real show.' I would bet the trees you remarked on are indeed Beeches, as they are particularly attractive in early spring when they have fresh, pale green leaves. NB if you put Mortimer Trail in the search box on this page, ity will 'confirm' that this is the correct Wapley Hill as it brings you back to this page. The trail must be in both Shropshire and Herefordshire... or you may have got the county wrong. Regards, Keith "johngoldfine" wrote in message oups.com...
