Why not dwarfing stock fruit trees? Apples and Cherries? I had some
wonderful cherries last week from a tree in Sheffield.
There are also plenty of dwarf ornamental trees. By 'dwarf' I mean no
more than, say, fifteen feet high. We can pick and choose.

Hi
I have the only tree on the verge and it is mature but it is suffering greatly with branches being broken by lorries and skip lorries. It also makes it dark in my front room . So beware of what you wish for ! Saplings would be lovely but they grow.

Subject: [eccotalk] Planting trees
HI,
I think I remember a while ago someone on this group saying that there was some money to be spent on something local. If any money is still available what about using it to buy some young trees to be planted on the grass verges on Endcliffe Glen Road?
There is an issue with cars taking short cuts down this road, causing blockages that result in cars annoyingly driving onto the grass verges. In several places people have put rocks, sticks and piles of wood. If trees were planted one of the many benefits could be stopping people driving on the verge.
Any thoughts?
Clare
