Good idea. Glad I got you thinking. I might ask Amey to swap mine!!! Check it
out and see what I mean.

The blossom in spring would be great, and as long as they are pruned they
wouldn't get too big. We could also obviously speak to the residents to see if
they wanted one at the front of their house and make sure that
it didn't block any sunlight.

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.

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
