Parks Department: Secret Agenda

Bristol Street Trees is pleased to be making a difference. The council are now replanting trees. Sometimes.

But we've noticed they are subtly changing the species. This stump, for example, is an Ash.

This is in an avenue of Ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior), in Ashgrove Road.

But it's been cleverly replaced... with a small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata).

A Lime. In Ashgrove Road. In an avenue of Ash trees.

Maybe the Parks Department have a hidden agenda. We reckon they are probably closet road name changers. Limegrove Road anyone?

Roundabout Tree Planted

It's there!

After years of trying, over 250 emails, countless meetings and discussions, we finally have a London Plane (Platanus x Hispanica) in the roundabout in Redland Road. We need more in soulless bits of street like this. Suggestions welcome.
