Ok, if I create a table, that’s fine. Except that I’ll update it won’t I. And then it won’t be a reflection of current recollection. So let’s keep it messy. What do I have. What do I remember?

Trees:

• Beech (Fagus sylvatica)
• Silver Birch (Betula pendula)
• Katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) 
• Stags Horn Sumach (Rhus typhina)

I have a share of a gorgeous Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris). It’s half in Mike’s garden, as is a Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) that fell over last year and had to be cut down. That’s coppicing nicely. I thought and hoped it would. It is. It’s great to see.

Shrubs:

• Hazel (Corylus avellana)
• Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna)
• Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa)
• Beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Actually the beech should be down here. There’s no big beech trees. Only little ones I’ve planted.

There are Cherry Trees. I think they’re probably something like Prunus kanzan as they fit the picture when in flower. Definitely not wild cherry (Prunus avium).

There’s a big tree I forgot. I think it’s Leylandii (X cupressocyparis leylandii) although it might be a Leyland Cypress (Chamaecyparis leylandii).

I’ve got some:

• Elder (Sambucus nigra)
• Willow (Salix spp. not sure …)
• Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus)
• Dogwood (Cornus?)
• Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) [yeah, I looked it up]
• 5 Apple Trees. Little ones.

Lots of Snowdrops, Bluebells, Daffs, crocuses, aconites.

• A holly tree. (Ilex aquifolia). Right next to the house. Should give it a hack really.
• Climbing Hydrangea (Hydrangea petiolaris)
• Boston Ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata)
