So pleased to learn there is a statue of Alan Turing. 🖤

…Blueberry ash — plus bottlebrush and red flowering gum — line my street here in an inner suburb of Sydney. 🫐🍂

The tree is so big, the statue is tiny in comparison, but perhaps you can see it in the picture? Your street sounds like quite a place! There's a street in London lined with bottlebrush trees, but I don't think the other species are quite cold-tolerant enough for the UK, yet.

Very majestic tree. Please protect your ash trees..ours here in America are bring devastated by the emerald ash borer beetle, a murderous invasive from Asia.

Yes, we are waiting for them, it's a pincer movement – they are heading over from Asia into Europe too.
