That's fun, to be documenting from the beginning of a street tree's life--on the other hand, I'm curious how often you see the end of life for trees you've documented?
I frequently see very old trees, and on one or two occasions I have been too late and have been greeted by a skeleton tree, or just a stump, which is worse.
I saw a climbing grapefruit plant on the side of an east facing small council house estate recently. I was on a guided walk thru the Isle of Dogs when I noticed HUGE fruits on a plant climbing up round the front door., and yup the fruits were grapefruits . Still astonished . Truly !!!!
