Replacement trees arrive in Hawthorn Way

Following the removal of trees, one of which was dead and unstable and others that were causing problems with neighbouring properties, new trees have been planted at Hawthorn Way.

A Field Maple has been planted to complete a line of four Field Maples on Ashgrove, while a Fern-Leaved Beech and a Dawn Redwood have also been put in at Hawthorn Way. The species of these three replacement trees were chosen as being most fitting for their positions. The Field Maple on Ashgrove will provide wildlife habitat and good autumn colour whilst not growing too large nor causing the issues the previous conifer tree did with the neighbouring properties. The specimen trees planted at Hawthorn Way will provide a real sense of place as they mature.[nbsp]

Mayor, Ronnie Murphy, said: “Removing mature trees is not something we do lightly and only do so when absolutely necessary. We were keen to plant replacement trees as quickly as possible and we look forward to seeing these new trees flourish.”
