I don't know if you guys have done (or know about) this yet, but the
National History Museum is holding a UK cherry tree survey:

It'd be great if we could all enter the trees we know about.

Well thanks for the replies, you ignorant *******s. You know, maybe it
is best that USENET is in its death throes and absolutely no wonder
why.

Well, maybe because you included a link with your post, everyone did
the same as me which was to click on the link and enter the
information as requested.

There was nothing to indicate that a message on uk.rec.gardening was
necessary.

Therefore, your insulting reply in less than 24 hours from your
original post was completely unwarranted.

Having only just logged on and not seen your original post (some of us do
other things over the weekend), I thought I'd have a look at the NHM page to
see what you are all het up about.

Can't say I'm impressed. for those who haven't seen the page, "the aim of
the survey is to locate, identify and count trees in streets, parks and
gardens across the UK. We are asking the general public to take part for two
important reasons:

- a project of this size needs many people to contribute for the data to be
useful
- only you can give us information about the trees in your gardens and
neighbourhoods"

Having then had a look at the "What we know and what we want to find out"
section, my reaction is "So what?". Seems to me that someone has got a
grant to do a study which is pretty pointless (although the words
"biodiversity" and "climate" appear, so it must be important...).

If you looked at urban street trees 50 or so years ago you'd probably be
looking at London plane, as little else would put up with the pollution from
all those coal fires. Now many other types of tree - including cherry -
grow happily. So what? Does it matter what cherry trees grow in urban
areas? Why cherry? Might be more interesting to find out what palms are
growing and surviving.

If you are really interested in urban cherries, visit Japan.

And the prat expected a welter of replies within the space of 25½
hours so that he could get his name on some stupid irrelevant paper.

Charming. Kind of glad I forgot to go out and check out the tree in the
garden after all.

I wonder if the Natural History Museum are aware that someone is giving such
a lovely impression of their organisation.

And people don't necessarily have the information on local cherries to
hand - I noticed 3 Prunus padus in an amenity planting at 8pm last
night, but I don't know what the other local cherries are, or for that
matter which of the local Prunus are cherries under their definition
(section Cerasus?), or, except in a few cases, where they are.

And now you can assume that the charm school tuition fees were totally
wasted.

From another group, "Steve" of the multiple addresses is a well known

deranged and masochistic kind who likes being verbally abused so tries
to provoke it.

And you can **** off too.
