In a January Cobbweb we told you of the Trust’s donation of a Cut-leaf or Fern-leaf Beech to the Ipswich Arboretum in continuation of the family’s long and affectionate association with Christchurch Park. You may remember that it was chosen for its narrow lance-shaped dark green leaves giving the tree its feathery graceful form.
David Miller, whose father Tony was Head Gardener of the Upper Arboretum from 1966 to 1991, and Steve Leech who is responsible for over 5,000 trees, planted ‘our’ Cut-leaf in January and sent these two pictures this week. They demonstrate their excellent work and the health of our gift.
