More Eucryphia! E. moorei from SE #Australia is too rarely planted even in suitable gardens. Its hybrid (with E. lucida) E. x hilleri is hardier and still has pinnate leaves (with fewer leaflets) and small flowers. Both flowering yesterday at #Kilmacurragh #Ireland @rhsirl

Well, this is what we were hoping for! £300,000 combined for Enzo Homes & Fiorenzo Sauro, & £120,000 for Arwyn Morgan, who felled the tree & 70 others in an area of ancient woodland. This is a massive fine. Well done Swansea Council. Possibly an appeal! https://t.co/vhqwoWUVE3

As it’s #RoaldDahlDay today, I though it very appropriate to post this, something to keep in mind 😄 (I would also like to take the opportunity to say that Roald Dahl’s parents were Norwegian 😉🇳🇴)

The Greek Juniper Juniperus drupacea at the Folly Arboretum. A real 'wow' moment, closely followed by another when Pinus monophylla appeared around the next corner! #conifers #Hungary @Conifer_Society @IDSTSO
