Yet more trees


Working on the principle that you can't have too many trees here's some more of the mile long stretch of plane trees on Cottingham Road. This bunch are by the entrance to the University. Plane trees are credited with cleaning up air pollutants which get  trapped in the bark which is then shed on the ground. They also shed fine leaf hairs during the Summer which some (that would be me) find irritating causing sneezing.

  1. I like the green color of the--what is that? Bark? Moss? Pretty trees. Sorry they're sneezy.
    We have a beautiful tree in Pasadena called the Jacaranda which most people love, but to me it has an awful smell.

    1. There's a single Jacaranda growing just down the road from my house. Quite spectacular when it flowers.

      Res per industriam prosperae means 'things that are prosperous through industriousness'.
