I have admired and photographed this rare hybrid birch, Betula ermanii x pubescens, at Westonbirt arboretum for over thirty years. Today I found it cut into pieces, after a large branch dropped from it just over... facebook.com/10001444614407…

Spread the word. Let's get as many not-voters onto the electoral register NOW. They are the people who wouldn't vote for Johnson. I would imagine most of them wouldn't have voted to leave the European Union either... 🙄 gov.uk/register-to-vo…

Superb bark on the evergreen Far Eastern cherry, Prunus zippeliana. Very rare in cultivation in the UK, this is only suited to mild areas. Closely related to cherry laurel, P. laurocerasus. #treebark #tree #trees... facebook.com/10001444614407…

One of the Cyclobalanopsis oaks from the Far East, Quercus gilva is a real beauty, with a gorgeous crown form on mature trees. Here in Kyushu, Southern Japan, today. @ Usuki, Oita — in Usuki, Oita facebook.com/10001444614407…

Virtually all the wild Acer palmatum we've seen here on Honshu, Shikoku and now Kyushu are the very small leaved subsp. palmatum. This is such a contrast to most plants commonly sold in the UK which are much... facebook.com/10001444614407…

I don't know how common these relatively low-growing and heavily burred-trunked Platanus orientalis are in the UK, but there are a few around here in Gloucestershire and especially at Tortworth Court. It would be... facebook.com/10001444614407…

Tilia tomentosa, the Silver Lime, is potentially one of the most magnificent we can grow in the UK, and this specimen by the church at Tortworth is a UK champ. Photos just don’t do this beauty justice. Rarely... facebook.com/10001444614407…

Like a number of huge old specimen trees in the UK, the tallest British example of Caucasian oak, Quercus macranthera, @westonbirtarboretum is clearly grafted. A number of people take issue with grafting and some... facebook.com/10001444614407…
