The Great Trees Of London

This book brings together over sixty trees around the capital that have achieved "Great Tree" status as determined by the popular tree planting charity Trees for Cities.

As you might expect, there are plenty of London planes, horse chestnuts, oaks and also some rarer species.

There are magnificent, towering specimens, such as the Forty Hall Cedar of Lebanon and the Berkeley Square Plane and ancient trees like the Richmond Royal Oak, estimated to be 750 years old.

Packed with glorious colour photography taken in various seasons, this book also contains a glossary of botanical terms: facts, figures and folklore about key species.

  "Some of London's trees are ancient, some have extraordinary and royal histories and some are rare species. What they all have in common is their work: as the lungs of London, de-polluting its atmosphere,  providing food and shelter for our capital's wildlife and shade and beauty for its human population."
