Yes looking at the scrub there it is almost unbelievable the way it transforms into such beauty in the high summer, have a batch of pictures of them in full colour somewhere. It truly is a mesmerising display of nature once they get going. I used to pish and tish them but had to eat my words as well as my hat when they hit full bloom.
Speaking of storm damage, here is a recent one of a seafront tree. As you can see its leaning more to the horizontal rather than to the perpendicular.
Several of the trees are like that. Some of them even have stabilising posts but to no avail alas...as all went sideways.
Howard I think you had a similar picture previously.
