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.
