The list below is of the tree types just in the public spaces of the HRA “territory”, though including the park in Valentia Road – as that is at the end of Finch Close and Brookside gardens. So, the area bounded by Old Road, Valentia Road, London Road, and Lime Walk, but including Nursery Close and All Saints churchyard. There’s also an HRA “pan handle” along Old Road to the traffic lights at the Windmill Road junction.
There are very many other fine and interesting trees in front gardens and behind fences and walls, but these are not included – it’s just public space trees.
The list of Highfield Trees should help you find the name of the trees you pass, as it gives a brief description and where found. There are 29 different types!
In the Gallery can be seen a photo of the very fine Black Locust tree at the end of Barrington Close with, on its left a Downy Birch and on its the right a Maple.
