Winter tree identification
Wed 11 February
Botanic Garden
Identifying trees in winter often means that the traditional identification features such as leaves and flowers are not visible. We will look at the features which can be used to identify trees in winter and throughout the year. With the Botanic Garden’s wonderful tree collection as our backdrop, we will focus mainly on broad-leaved deciduous landscape trees, as well as looking at some evergreen conifers. We will discuss some basic concepts, tree anatomy and spend time around the Garden identifying trees and comparing features. This course will take place indoors and outdoors, so do check the forecast and dress appropriately.
This is a course developed for beginners but is useful for those with some experience looking for a refresher.
Cost: £40
