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.

A trio of trees

 From a walk to the village.  

A Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) on the village green.


A big but wide Yew 


And a Sycamore with developing samaras 

It surprises me that I still see trees in my village that I've yet to photograph!

A lovely Lime

 One of the magnificent Lime trees on the village green.


There's also a large spreading Ash there as well as a good sized Yew.
