Statement of Significance

Contribution to landscape
Aesthetic value

This Quercus ilex is a dominant specimen located in a triangular bed at the corner of a busy intersection. There have been recent plantings of Plane Trees and Japanese Cherry Trees in this reserve and an old Irish Strawberry Tree is growing nearby. The recent plantings may, at a later date, affect the symmetry of this Quercus ilex and pruning or removal, especially of the Plane Trees may be necessary. The tree would benefit from a fertilizing, watering, program as well as deadwooding.
