A surprising palm tree in north London is a refugee from distant lands.
Happy New Year. Thanks very much for your brilliant posts.
Thank you Phil!
What a splendid tree! Welcome to England! I echo Phil's sentiments. This is a great newsletter and I'm always eager to read the next one!
Thank you Michael. Great to know you’re enjoying it, and thank you for your regular contributions.
Kew Gardens has one in its Temperate House - which it constantly threatens to outgrow. But it is indoors, while the Islington specimen has to brave the elements.
Sadly, I think that tree did eventually have to be cut down a few years ago. It had reached the glass ceiling...
