A young tree needs protection – Part 5

Back in 2006, when I started doing This Abingdon Blog, one report was about three trees that had been planted in town. One got vandalised, one had a bad lean, and one was doing well.

Here they are again some years later…

The vandalised tree is long gone but another tree, planted nearby, is doing much better. I hope the new generation respect trees more.

The leaning tree continues to lean and still has a tree guard.

The third tree is doing well. The tree guard has been removed and lower branches cut. That tree was planted in honour of John Jones OBE – a former Mayor and Freeman of Abingdon.
