Note from
webmother to page visitors:
Many of these pages are still bare bones. Whenever time allows, we
will continue to add information to the Tree Gallery until all the
trees have descriptions of their habitat, characteristics,
cultivation, uses and anything else of interest. Why not get
involved with enhancing this web resource by sending photographs
of trees, bark, details of branches, leaves, flowers, seed and
fruit in all seasons (Good use of all these new digital cameras!).
Email us if you are keen to know more about a particular tree and
we will do our best to complete that one next. |
