Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Trees, trees and more trees for the Ladder
Just to let everyone know that the council are proposing new tree planting along the Ladder roads. This is scheduled to start on Monday 24th March. There should be in the region of 76 new trees across the Ladder.
This is great news as some of our trees where lost to disease last year - it is great to have confirmation that more trees are now being planted.
(OK, the photo is of one of my trees but its the best photo of a tree I have!)

Nick T-G, -by recently I mean 12 years. The one tree that is being replaced was felled maybe seven years ago, its 'sister' tree on the other side of the road was also chopped down but is not being replaced.

Nick, most of the history with street trees over the past few years is covered on the site. Check the tag I've added under Karen's original posting.

I've read many of the posts in the past Hugh. As you can tell by this post, I have a great interest in street trees and seeing a lot more of them in our area.

Speaking of new trees - following on from the gardening in the Matterson and Pemberton street planters over the last weekends there will be gardening in the Fairfax and Frobisher street planters this weekend, including planting a small tree in each. Not sure exactly what day/time yet but if anyone is interested in helping talk to one of the people on that thread.

This is good news. It will help create a wildlife corridor for birds, caterpillars etc from Railway Fields to Ducketts Common and other green spaces. Railway Fields has lost quite a few trees to the storms. A mature hawthorn supports over 300 species of wildlife.

Here are a few more details.
The contractors will start at Sydney Road and work their way through the ladder to Umfreville Rd. They are planting different numbers of trees in each road so it's difficult to be more specific with time scales for each road, but they should be planting 7-8 trees a day.
The council did look at all sites recorded as vacant tree pits on their database, but they received objections from homeowners at 14 locations. There was also a small number of sites that were now not suitable, due to new infrastructure (i.e. water mains too close to pit).Alex Fraser at the council has asked that if residents want a tree at a specific site, they contact me (or him) and I will forward the request and they will assess the site and if they have any spare trees they may be able to plant one at the end of the current programme

On the pavement outside 81 Beresford Road why not chop that tree down?

And don't forget, people, to look after your new trees when they arrive [the council hasn't got time]. Doesn't take much-a bucket of water every now and then if it's been [hopefully] dry, a bit of weeding to keep grass etc out of the tree pits. It's the first couple of years that trees need help. And If you like, join the Haringey Tree Wardens and be responsible for your street trees....

Like Beresford Road needs more trees when you can't even sort out the ones I got in touch with you about when you came round and had a look and said it would be sorted out that promise was before the local election and the local election came and went and nothing was done

Nick G-T just posted a reminder to water the new trees given we have had 2 days with no rain...
It occurred to me that I often look after some trees local to me on Pemberton, but it had not occurred to me until Nick mentioned it that they might need a bit of something in the next day or two. So I thought it might be worth trying to see if we can identify the new trees (and in fact any other trees that look vunerable that might not be recently added) and see if we can find a couple of folks near to each tree willing to 'adopt' the tree.
I suspect (as with may things) it will not occur to us or the folks outside whose house the tree sits to take some responsibility for it, but I am sure most of us would do so if reminded. So, with that three things:
- Are there any trees not on this list that you think are young or venerable that we should add to a 'watch list'
- Are you willing to look after and 'adopt' any of the vulnerable trees or the newly added trees that Hugh posted the locations of in a spread sheet here? If so, let me know and I will make a note on the spread sheet
- Would you be willing to knock on a few doors on your street of neighbours close to the new/vulnerable trees to see if they would 'adopt' the tree? Again, if so please let me know and I will talk with you separately
