Three new trees have been planted on the green in Bassett Green Road, two of these are Himalayan birches, Betula utilis “Doorenbos” and the other, the common almond Prunus dulcis. Six more cherry trees have been planted in Ethelburt Avenue to replace those that have died. One of these was planted in memory of Betty Johnston.
Tree work on the cherries, as recommended and approved by the City Council’s arboriculturist has recently been carried out. A diseased silver birch on the bottom green in Ethelburt Avenue was also felled.
