Look.
One of Bristol's famous stumps. In Winterstoke Road, South Bristol.
It's a Lime Tree stump, and there is more than one, because Winterstoke Road was an avenue of Lime Trees. There are a couple of London Planes, too, but they're in the open space by the play area.
We've been campaigning for years to have Bristol's stumps replaced with new trees, so it's good that these stumps have been. But we forgot about the law of unintended consequences...
Yes, Ginkgo City Council have re-planted with Ginkgos. In what was an avenue of Lime Trees.
Perfect.
You can see just how well these Chinese deciduous conifers fit well with the established, remaining Lime trees. Especially in winter.
