Informative A: the replacement Persian Ironwood tree for sycamore T3 is greatly appreciated for rear amenity and for urban greening seen from Ermine Road. Informative B: to thank for retaining the magnolia tree for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: please plant trees in the ground to thrive rather than in tubs where prone to nutrient deficiency and failure should watering not be sufficient to sustain the tree during increasingly long hot, dry summers with climate change.
