Unusual trees for a new park
In article , "Bob Hobden" writes: | | The Monkey Puzzle Tree is a favourite of mine too, there is an excellent one | just near the Orangery at Kew but I'm not so sure one would be a good idea | in a public park these days, some little darling might prick themselves. | :-( Oh, GOOD! For sheer viciousness, our native barberry (Berberis vulgaris) takes a lot of beating. It has spectacular yellow flowers in spring, and equally spectacular, edible red berries in autumn. Its leaves are edible, too. | I'll put it to the Council though with most of your other suggestions. Taxodium distichum is also good, as is Abies koreana (though a bit slow growing).
