A short demo of wind pollination in action. The male cones are now full of pollen on this weeping spruce and the wind helps release the billions of pollen grains #pollen #pollination t#nature #tree #spruce

I haven’t been to Teignmouth for a while but did my usual checks of any trees during my visit. One of the several London plane trees has seriously outgrown its tree guard. Really hope the Teign council will sort this out and soon #tree #nature #londonplane #teignmouth

This stump is all that is left of the stunning mimosa tree at Northernhay gardens. Apparently the reason it was felled was due to recent storm damage and no longer being suitable for long term retention. Historic England have advised that any future replacements are not to be planted near the wall. #treefelling #treestump #nature #exeter

Spotted this beauty in a garden last week. It’s the first time I’ve seen an evergreen spindle (Japanese spindle), as the European spindle is deciduous. They both have the stunning pink flowers with orange seeds. The seeds are poisonous. #spindletree #nature #evergreen #euonymusjaponicus

Always nice to see a new tree. This is a paper bark maple and is the replacement for the recently failed Rowan tree. Sadly Rowan trees seem to be having a pretty hard time. This lovely little paper bark maple can be found near Hatherleigh road in St Thomas #tree #acer #acergriseum #nature

This black locust was recently felled as was in decline. One thing the Devon county council are great at is removing trees. Sadly it’s quite the opposite for planting replacements. @devoncountycouncil please can you advise of the expected date for the replacement #treeremoval #streettrees #exeter
