Yep, it's Albiziza julibrissin, or a Persian Silk Tree. There's more than one here at Brockley too. This is an unusual street tree in London, there's a few in Southwark and a couple in Hackney so it's great to see the population expanding quite substantially in this corner of Lewisham too. ⠀ If you'd like to take a closer look at the street trees of Brockley, join me by this tree in two weeks time. More details available at the Museum of Walking, museumofwalking.org.uk⠀ ⠀ #streettree #treelinedstreet #UrbanForest #londonstreets #Treestagram #treesoflondon #LondonPop #lonely_tree_love #LiveUK #Treesofinstagram #instatree #tree_captures #lotiloves #londonbylondoners #thelondonlifeinc #london_enthusiasts #ilovelondon #Lewisham #Brockley #ThisIsLondon #TreeCharter #sharenaturepics #maybeLDNer #prettycitylondon #allkindsofnature #treesplease #infrontoftrees #urbanarboretum #LondonisaForest #albiziajulibrissin
Normal service has resumed... After the excitement of finding the super rare and exotic Silky Oak in Rotherhithe, here's something altogether more common. It's a 'Fastigiata' Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus, and it would be near the top of my list for planting on London streets if it were in my gift. Neat, native and noble, what's not to love?⠀ ⠀ #streettree #treelinedstreet #UrbanForest #londonstreets #Treestagram #treesoflondon #LondonPop #lonely_tree_love #LiveUK #Treesofinstagram #instatree #tree_captures #lotiloves #londonbylondoners #thelondonlifeinc #london_enthusiasts #ilovelondon #Lewisham #ForestHill #ThisIsLondon #TreeCharter #sharenaturepics #maybeLDNer #prettycitylondon #allkindsofnature #treesplease #infrontoftrees #urbanarboretum #LondonisaForest #hornbeam
