Paul Wood @thestreettree.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Charmingly named bastard service trees have been staples of urban planting for decades. They are neither large nor particularly long-lived, but they are tough and attractive.

Paul Wood @thestreettree.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Meet the Pickenham Zelkova On the northern edge of St Andrew’s churchyard, the Pickenham Zelkova cuts a distinctive witches broom silhouette, particularly so in winter. Caucasian zelkovas are handsome but rather rare, so it is a surprise to encounter one in a quiet Norfolk village. #TreeHunting 140
