Some answers at long last.

16 Sophora japonica Japanes Pagoda Tree, top marks if you got it without the foliage pic.

18 Tough one this, Hovenia dulcis, Oriental Raisin Tree

19 Juglans Regia, Walnut

20 Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca', Blue Atlas Cedar

[daltontrees]

Last of the answers.

21 Sequaoiadendron giganteum Giant Redwood

22 Popuus x canescens Grey Poplar

23 Davidia involucrata Handkerchief Tree

24 Cercis siliquastrium Judas Tree

25 Rhamnus davurica Dahurian Buckthorn, a right difficult one

Ahh, well spotted. I think I missed the real 24, which is Prunus serrula which teh Germans call Mahogani-Kirsche, can't think of British name for now.

 

So the last of the answers should be

 

21 Sequoiadendron giganteum Giant Redwood

22 Populus x canescens Grey Poplar

23 Davidia involucrata Handkerchief Tree

24 Prunus serrula

25 Cercis siliquastrium Judas Tree

26 Rhamnus davurica Dahurian Buckthorn

Well done, I don't think I would have got a few of them without labels or seeing the hwole tree for a couple of minutes.

 

Say what you want about teh germans, but they are hard to beat on civic pride. Not a single tree had been vandalised, so they were generally all in very good condition and trouble had been taken in many places to plant a good variety of species. It was a joy just to walk down an average street.

Where the botanic gardens in the German part of Basel, or in the Swiss Centre?

 

Somewhere I've added to my "to go to" list:thumbup:
