European Hop-hornbeam - (Ostrya carpinifolia) - Western Way green space - Winter 2020

2/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Information: This is a newly planted tree and is next to the mature cherry and elm tree. There are very few of these in Exeter so will hopefully grow well and add some new character to the area. The nearest 'match' for this tree would be the European Hornbeam which we have a fair few across Exeter. There was no tree cage installed during the initial planting of this tree.

Tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) - St Thomas Pleasure Grounds - Winter 2020

2/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Information: There is already a mature Tulip tree in the park so the two together will add a real splash of colour on the early summer. The leaves are very pretty and do look a bit like the shape of a Tulip flower, but it is the flowers that give it the common name of Tulip tree. The flowers will help attract and feed a lot of insects and the fruit will provide food for many creatures. Tree cage installed.

Black walnut (​Juglans nigra) - Cowick Barton playing fields. Planted in Autumn 2020

2/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Information: This was planted shortly after the Pink Hawthorn and this was also a replacement for the two mature Sycamore trees that were removed. The Black walnut is a non native species and there aren't many of these about so it's a very welcome addition to the area. Although the flowers aren't very showy the fruit is and will provide extra food for birds, squirrels and other small mammals. No tree guard has been setup yet so this young tree is vulnerable from vandals and dogs.

Pink Hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata 'Paul's Scarlet') - Cowick Barton playing fields. Planted in Autumn 2020

2/1/2021

2 Comments

 
Information: This was a replacement for a recently felled Sycamore tree and is a welcome addition. Although it will be a much smaller tree than the Sycamore in size it will still provide a lot of nature value as the flowers are great for insect pollinators. When in flower this part of the fields will be a stunning pink.
