My ‘Green Graffiti’ oak tree tree, planted on the island at junction 38 of the M1 (at the border between South and West Yorkshire), is still going strong. After every council grass cutting, i nervously look around the corner of the roundabout hoping that they have left it be. and, yes: so far they have left it. it may just have been a little too big for any grass cutter without a love for trees to mow it down with a grass cutter. Maybe they like it? i hope so.
I’ve put some photos up of it over the past 3 or so years.
