One of our smallest, but most beautiful, native trees, the Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) can be an indicator of ancient woodland. We included two in our refurbishment of Shuttleworth Park and they are thriving. #Bermondsey #NativeTrees @thestreettree.bsky.social @lb-southwark.bsky.social

Take a stroll down Grange Walk, wait for the traffic to clear and listen to the buzz. The Japanese pagoda trees (Styphnolobium japonica) are in flower and covered in honey bees. Resilient to climate change, it's a beautiful and much underrated street tree. #Bermondsey @thestreettree.bsky.social

If the heat is getting to you, make your way to Bermondsey's Southwark Park and take a seat under its famous London planes. Instant air-conditioning (and a lot cheaper and greener!) #thicktrunktuesday @lb-southwark.bsky.social @thestreettree.bsky.social
