 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.
