We’re sure you’ll agree that in many places around the Heeley Common area there are some lovely trees that blossom with pink and white leaves at this time of year. We found that the only place that’s missing such blossoms are Derby Street.
We met up with Moira Walker of the Trees and Woodlands section to get us thinking about planting some new trees in this area. Moira has suggested that we could have as many as 30 to 50 trees all along and around Derby Street. With your views and some planning, we could have the chosen trees planted as early as this coming Autumn.
We would like you to have your say in choosing the variety and colour of trees we should go for, do you prefer white, pink, ornamental apples, or something else? We would like you to have a think about the suggestions, and if you can, go and visit the trees in the local area to decide for yourself. To help you make some choices, we have provided a list of trees and the places where they are situated.
If access is a problem, then don’t worry, as we will invite Moira to our general meeting in June/July to bring lots of photos s for everyone to choose the perfect blossom trees for Derby Street.
Where you will find them!
