trees in the park

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 may find this of some help, scroll down... https://www.royalparks.org.uk/press-...-on-the-royal- parks/trees Thanks Bob. Very interesting, and strange that I didn't come across it when searching the site. One wonders what London would look like without its plane trees! Have you tried the forestry commission? Just an idea, not guaranteed to be a good one. The royalparks site has errors that I noticed at a glance. They call Nyssa sylvatica (I just killed one, hence the interest) a "tulip tree" but in fact it is called a Black Tupelo, or Blackgum. Also they claim Acer saccharinum is used for syrup, confusing it with Acer saccharum, a common mistake. In actuality it's a poor syrup tree. /pendant mode. Well don't hang about too long. :-) Email the Royal Parks and put them straight. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
