I'll give you that one. Wide verges + limes = beautiful. Or lines of limes in old parks.

 

 

love the large and small leaved lime

That's definitely the one. Quite amazing in their complexity and their population on this particular tree. The oaks very close, on a dog walking route, so I'll be able to watch it develop into the autumn.

Assuming it isn't built on in the mean-time:biggrin:

 

So Paul, the comparison you're alluding too is, I assume, the gall population. I.e, a repeat of this year.

 

Just realising I know little (nothing) about the wasp habits, do they re-infect the same trees year after year etc. Something else to research up on:confused1:
