Nothing gold can stay

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost

They showed me this magnificent Headache tree (Umbellularia californica) …

It’s the best example of its kind in London - and your interest since on TiCL has made it one of the Great Trees of London 🏆🌳 #GTOL

The #12trees they showed me are still standing and lovelier than ever.

I dedicate this trail to them.

In memory of Jane Plant, Merton Tree Warden, who, with David Lofthouse, Arboricultural Manager @mertoncouncil.bsky.social introduced me to Merton’s loveliest trees including this magnificent #LondonPlane in Ravensbury Park in 2017

Gingko! There's a beautiful gingko tree at the bottom of a hill near the rail station in Hereford. It's one of my favourites, and is looking magnificent now in it's Autumnal splendour.😀
