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)
