Disgraceful scenes on the streets of Falmouth today, as @CornwallCouncil deliberately flouted the law in order to needlessly destroy three perfectly healthy & beautiful street trees. Even worse, to stop the local citizens who elect & fund them) from peacefully trying to stop

Tree people, we came across this smallish, multi-stemmed tree in Bath Botanical Gardens today and it has us stumped. Apparently deciduous, leaves nearly as thick as a holly. Apps uncooperative. Ideas? @TreeRegister @TheStreetTree @TiCLme

This is the first American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) I’ve knowingly seen in the UK - #KewGardens of course! Despite being one genetic parent of the common, hybrid, #Londonplane, it’s unusual in this country Have you seen one growing anywhere else in Britain ? 🌳🇬🇧🤔

@TheStreetTree RIP to the Gransden Ave chitalpa. I remarked a couple of weeks ago it needed some remedial pruning to correct the typical top heaviness and lean; instead Hackney council decided to nuke it 😥

@TheStreetTree Finally got round to finish reading your latest edition of London's Street Trees. Definitely the best edition and an excellent book. Loved the inclusion of the Chinese Yellowwood 100 metres from me. It flowers about every other year.
