Thanks for the update Glenda. It's some time since I last visited the site. Are the trees still there now? My mother and father (both now sadly passed away) were both in the hospital for physiotherapy after falls in 2003 and 2004, and they absolutely loved these trees which were in full bloom at the time. The quantity of flowers they produced was stunning, and my mother, especially, was very upset when she discovered that the plan was to fell them all as part of the new hospital grounds 'development'. (Why is it that the word 'development' always seems to be used when what they actually mean is the removal of green and growing things?)
