Fully revised and extended for 2024, get your copy of the third edition of London’s Street Trees: A Field Guide to the Urban Forest. Pre-order now, this product will ship in mid-July 2024.
Back to the handy original size of 160 x 160mm, this pocket-sized tome packs 240 pages of fascinating tree information, including new features, and many species not included in the previous two editions.
Who would have thought there were over 400 different types of tree on London’s streets?
When the first edition of this wonderful guidebook came out in 2017, for most people a street tree meant a London Plane. In fact, as it revealed, the capital’s magnificently green streets were home to everything from Giant Redwoods to Persian Silk Trees – an urban arboretum as vibrantly multicultural as this great world city itself.
But the planting hasn’t stopped, so once again this latest revised edition has even more pages and species . It tells you where to find, amazingly, Flamingo Chinese Cedars and Snowdrop Trees, a Bee-Bee Tree and even a Lemon, as well as whole avenues of flowering cherries – all on London streets – and how Londoners, be they visionary tree officers or local community groups are transforming their on neighbourhoods.
‘For someone like me who is not a natural naturalist, the book reveals a previously unconsidered world situated just outside the front door, or at most only a bus ride away.’
Ian Jack, Guardian
‘A brilliant book that will appeal to everyone. It is very definitely a worthy celebration of the urban forest.’
British Wildlife
