The thing that immediately struck us was the effective use of Norway Maples. These trees fall neatly into the mantra of 'right tree right place' so much loved by many tree and urban realm professionals.
In fact, most of 'old' Broadmead is defined by this species. Which gives it a sense of place. An identity. An image to be built on. A brand.
So it was fantastic to see that all the new trees recently planted are Ginkgos.
Bristol truly is turning into Ginkgo City. Lucky there are very few known viruses for these remnants of the dinosaur age (we mean the trees... of course!).
