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 GIYF. Try one of these. http://tinyurl.com/mzswjyx or http://tinyurl.com/or2bh97 or http://tinyurl.com/pvndzzy or http://tinyurl.com/oqwu9bt Wow! Thank you so much for posting those links. I'm not all that great at identifying European trees and those links will be a great help to me and make me observe the tree before I get near a computer. I have the Collins Guide to British Trees but somehow it's never with me when I come across an unfamiliar tree. The Natural History Museum survey is interesting but records only one tree in the whole of St.James Park! And now the survey is closed. I hope it won't be long before a smartphone app emerges that tells you what sort of tree you're standing next to. Technically doable but are there enough arboriculturists? What is needed is an application with the ability to recognise trees from their visual appearance. It's an image recognition but that's a long way off. Facial and number plate recognition are just a small step. Steve I see there's an app called Treezilla produced by Open University. Have been unable to complete the registration process though.
