Choosing the Right Species for London
You want to plant a tree, but which one? We've developed several resouces to help you decide.
A good place to begin is this a simple list of trees that are suitable for the London area. This list also contains tree species that should be planted with caution and tree species that should not be planted in the London area. This list is also available as a colour brochure. For copies, contact us.
Here are some resouces to guide your choices:
- Trees that are suitable for the London area
- Shrubs that are suitable for the London area (PDF 910K)
- Meadows
- Butterfly Habitats
In order to view and print some of these .pdf files, Adobe Acrobat Reader is required. This free software is available at www.adobe.com.
