  • Valuing Ealing's Urban Trees
    Valuing Ealing’s Urban Trees EALING I-TREE ECO TECHNICAL REPORT Report Published in 2018 ©Trees for Cities 2018 Designed by Arup FOREWORD Ealing’s trees are an integral part of the borough’s character, from the 400 year old woodlands to the Cherry blossom-lined streets; even the borough’s logo sports a tree. Trees can play an important role in promoting mental and physical wellbeing, adding colour and beauty to the built urban landscape, reducing the heat island effect and they have the ability to absorb large quantities of water, to help reduce the risk of flooding. Ealing’s trees are becoming increasingly valuable as we face challenges of climate change and population growth. The Council’s vision is to increase and enhance the whole of the urban tree stock for the enjoyment of current and future generations and to ensure that trees remain a defining feature of the splendid suburban borough that is Ealing. One of the overarching themes of the new draft London Plan (December 2017) is creating a healthy city. The Plan suggests that green infrastructure, including trees, must be planned, designed, and managed in a more integrated way to ensure Londoners reap the multitude of benefits it provides, including mental and physical health and wellbeing. The Plan emphases that the urban forest is an important part of London’s green infrastructure and a major asset to the urban environment. This report helps us better understand the importance of Ealing’s trees and woodlands. The economic and social value of trees has become increasingly evident across all of London and has been highlighted in the London i-Tree Assessment and the Natural Capital Account for London’s public parks and green spaces.

  • Tree Planting and Management
    COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION Tree Planting and Management Breadth of Opportunity The spread of the Commission's responsibilities over some 148 countries in temperate, mediterranean, tropical and desert climates provides wonderful opportunities to experiment with nature's wealth of tree species. We are particularly fortunate in being able to grow many interesting and beautiful trees and we will explain how we manage them and what splendid specimens they can make. Why Plant Trees? Trees are planted for a variety of reasons: their amenity value, leaf shape and size, flowers, fruit, habit, form, bark, landscape value, shelter or screening, backcloth planting, shade, noise and pollution reduction, soil stabilisation and to encourage wild life. Often we plant trees solely for their amenity value. That is, the beauty of the tree itself. This can be from the leaves such as those in Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia', the flowers in the tropical tree Tabebuia or Albizia, the crimson stems of the sealing wax palm (Cyrtostachys renda), or the fruit as in Magnolia grandiflora. above: Sealing wax palms at Taiping War Cemetery, Malaysia with insert of the fruit of Magnolia grandiflora Selection Generally speaking the form of the left: The tropical tree Tabebuia tree is very often a major contributing factor and this, together with a sound knowledge of below: Flowers of the tropical the situation in which the tree is to tree Albizia julibrissin be grown, guides the decision to the best choice of species. Exposure is a major limitation to the free choice of species in northern Europe especially and trees such as Sorbus, Betula, Tilia, Fraxinus, Crataegus and fastigiate yews play an important role in any landscape design where the elements are seriously against a wider selection.

  • Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a Further Comparison
    photograph © Zhang Lin A rare view of Wa Shan almost minus its shroud of mist, viewed from the Abies fabri forested slopes of Emei Shan. At its far left the mist-filled Dadu River gorge drops to 500-600m. To its right the 3048m high peak of Mao Kou Shan climbed by Ernest Wilson on 3 July 1903. “As seen from the top of Mount Omei, it resembles a huge Noah’s Ark, broadside on, perched high up amongst the clouds” (Wilson 1913, describing Wa Shan floating in the proverbial ‘sea of clouds’). Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a further comparison CHRIS CALLAGHAN of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum 72 updates his woody plants comparison of Wa Shan and its sister mountain, World Heritage-listed Emei Shan, finding Wa Shan to be deserving of recognition as one of the planet’s top hotspots for biological diversity. The founding fathers of modern day botany in China all trained at western institutions in Europe and America during the early decades of last century. In particular, a number of these eminent Chinese botanists, Qian Songshu (Prof. S. S. Chien), Hu Xiansu (Dr H. H. Hu of Metasequoia fame), Chen Huanyong (Prof. W. Y. Chun, lead author of Cathaya argyrophylla), Zhong Xinxuan (Prof. H. H. Chung) and Prof. Yung Chen, undertook their training at various institutions at Harvard University between 1916 and 1926 before returning home to estab- lish the initial Chinese botanical research institutions, initiate botanical exploration and create the earliest botanical gardens of China (Li 1944). It is not too much to expect that at least some of them would have had personal encounters with Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson who was stationed at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard between 1910 and 1930 for the final 20 years of his life.

  • University of Reading Guidance Note on Tree Planting
    UNIVERSITY OF READING GUIDANCE NOTE ON TREE PLANTING 1.0 INTRODUCTION The University of Reading has many rare and historic trees and is conscious of its duty to ensure the continuing amenity and environmental value of the campus. This can only be achieved by the appropriate selection of species and planting to the highest standards. The Grounds Maintenance Section is well aware of the potential conflicts that trees can provoke, many of which can be avoided by giving careful consideration to the species selected and the sites that they are planted. This aims to give practical advice, guidance and references to all those involved with tree planting on University property, with the aim of: • Preventing damage to University property or services • Reducing the need for future maintenance • Reducing future hazards 2.0 SELECTION OF SPECIES This guide does not intend to discuss the amenity value of tree species, as there are already many books on the subject but does hope to highlight considerations that should be made to ensure the most suitable species are selected for the site. 2.1 TOXICITY There are a number of tree species that are toxic if ingested or their sap can cause contact allergic reactions to skin and eyes. The likelihood of serious poisoning occurring is extremely unlikely because trees are generally unpalatable and are unlikely to be eaten in large quantities. Site assessment should be carried out before known toxic species are chosen. Species Common Name Toxic Hazard Aesculus sp. Chestnut Ingested fruits Ilex sp. Holly Ingested fruits Laburnum sp. Golden Rain Ingested seeds Ligustrum lucidum Chinese Privet Ingested fruits Rhus sp.

  • 2014 - 15 Sightings
    2014 - 15 Sightings Winter sightings (2014/2015) 4th February 2015 (Jean King) Haywards Heath, West Sussex I first saw it on the 4th February, when it was feeding on the ground. I had put out dried mealworms and suet pellets. It was alone and I have not seen it in the company of any others. It has appeared in my garden every day since then at various times, but it seems to stay in the vicinity. I saw it again earlier today (11th Feb) so it has been in the area for at least a week. It has not seemed particularly nervous of other birds, but is obviously wary. I did think that for a migrant it has arrived extremely early, but I didn't think it might have overwintered somewhere.
