trees in the park
Every time I stroll round a London park I'm frustrated by not knowing
the names of the trees, particularly those that have obviously been around for ever. 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 |

Perhaps somebody should start labeling them. Have a look at St.James Park and tell us which tree you want to know about? Someone in this group may be able to recognise and identify it from above.

You asked for "a plan of such things online". You were directed to the online results of The Urban Tree Survey, which identifies individual trees and mapped their location. Janet. Actually I was not directed to the Urban Tree Survey but to the link below it, which is another "identify this tree" guide. However the survey sounds interesting, so thanks for mentioning it. My initial point remains though. Somewhere there must exist a plan showing at least the well established trees in the Royal Parks, and this would be of great interest to visitors. The Trees of London site http://www.londontrees.co.uk is very informative, but doesn't include any of the main parks. |

Steve Thanks for taking the trouble to zoom. As it happens the little Google car has been along all the paths in the park, so some decent images may yet be available in Street View. A fascinating virtual tour of the park. |

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? |

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. -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

It's not this particular tree I'm interested in but the lack of accessible information about trees in general, especially in the London royal parks. There probably aren't too many trees in flower (white) at the moment that have such a sweet scent. Bunches of small white, bell-like flowers. What really bugs me is I didn't take a picture, particularly as the phone has gps! Now of course I can't remember the exact location and it won't be in flower next time I'm there. |

Thanks to all who offered advice Ours isn't even thinking about flowering :( and last year the wind blew all the blossom off so we got no beans. I'm wondering if we should give up on it - a windy hillside isn't right for it. Andy |
