Oh wow. They showed one of these trees on BBC Gardeners' World last week. Thx for the info. I will go and look at it tomorrow. Apparently the flowers have a beautiful scent, too so will wait until next year for that joy!

Here's a booklet about all the notable St. Ann's Trees.
After years of local campaigning by the community-led StART project, the GLA have bought 18 acres off the NHS and named StART 'key stakeholders' - if you're interested in the trees (or any other aspects of the plan to build genuinely affordable homes there, please do get in touch.
