A Visit to the cemetery

Some more big trees at North Cemetery.
First a couple of conifers, a big Cypress and a Yew.


Then a very large cherry of some kind. Not seen such an old Cherry tree!

 

Then I spotted a large Whitebeam that had a large hole in the trunk. It was completely hollow inside, the wood there being just pulp.



Then  I saw the large Sweet Chestnut and waited till the kids were next to it to give a sense of scale.


Next a large Locust with strange knobbly growths on the trunk.
 

 There were lots of Lime trees in flower, the smell was fantastic.
 
 

Finally a large variegated Sycamore.

Couple of Cousins

From a walk today,  a lovely big Crack Willow.


And further along a nice big Black Poplar
 

Which on closer inspection has a large fungal attachment!
