Good day yesterday hosting a tour of some of North London's oldest trees with tree and fungi friends from the Polish Tree Institute and the Woodland Trust. Great conversations around how we manage these trees and lessons learnt. @CityCorpHeath @InstytutDrzewa @WoodlandTrust

@ECGilmartin You’re very welcome Emma, really good to have you along for the day, hope your return journey wasn’t too onerous.

Have you seen the magnificent black mulberry tree in the garden of @KeatsHouse ? It was selected as one of the 70 veteran trees to be part of the @QGCanopy . The tree dates back to the 17th Century and would have been there at the time Keats lived in the house.

[David Humphries @tree_myco_man]

@ldnphile Thanks Colleen, seemed to be well received, loads of very interesting questions afterwards. Always good to talk to local people about their local trees, particularly where they are invested with time and love for their surroundings.

A privilege for myself and colleague Alasdair Nicoll to be invited to give the Springett lecture for the Heath and Hampstead Society last night. I've been greatly inspired by the likes of Professor Oliver Rackham and Dr Merlin Sheldrake who have given this talk over the years.

@FungiandFlora Lots of Fistulina at base of oaks here in north London, but also some at height. Quite a few anamorphic forms of Fistulina. Still seeing laetiporus alao, but mostly all at height.
