Where in Harringay would you see this?

Easy.  But I won't spoil it for the others.

( unless there's a prize ? A sprig of last year's Christmas tree ? )

Wiloughby Road, next to the Japanese Knotweed.

Ah clearly too easy

Yes it's a sculpture on Willoughby Road. Is that Japanese knotweed at the base?

Anyone interested in what it's called and its 'sprit' is all about can see from the plaque

So there you have it.

Some Harringay culture.

Your turn to set the next quiz John?

That might be some sort of thorny bush, but there's certainly knotweed to the left of it - rapidly spreading across the front of the building and the neighbouring one too (not sure where it started). I wrote to Ersan & Co but they never responded, perhaps because their lease is ending (they are relocating to The Coliseum). I'll chase them again - perhaps they can give me the landlords details.

Knotweed is a national problem and should be reported - see this site for more info. MUST be dealt with fast and professionally - you should see Cornwall, which didn't!

I walked past there today, Nicholas, and they appear to have cleared the front around the sculpture of all vegetation, including hopefully the knotweed?

Unfortunately they've just trimmed the branches above the paving stones. They do this regularly. I emailed them again asking for their landlords details but I didn't receive a response. I'll try and give them a call.
