Back in 2006, this blog featured some young trees that were trying to make it in modern day Abingdon. So I thought I’d catch up with them again to see how they are getting along.

This tree dedicated to John Jones OBE is looking very healthy.

These two in the Albert Park seem a bit late coming into leaf, but they may be slightly worried by the cull that has just happened in the Park, particularly to the likes of the leylandii. But I think they are doing OK.

The three at the bottom of Calcecott Road did not survive. Three more have replaced them, and – because of the better protection – all but one are doing OK.
