APPENDIX G 

 OTHER NOTEWORTHY TREES 



In the seventeenth century " in most other parts of the city it was 

 gardens, gardens all the way, with grey old houses and walls between. 

 No slate and bricks disfigured the approaches ; Bullingdon Heath stretched 

 unbroken, but for a few cottages, up to Magdalen Bridge. The old walls 

 were still intact. FLETCHER, History of England. 



Better the madness of a Shenstone planting trees than that of others, 

 Hercules-like, tearing them up by the roots. GILFILLAN, Life of Shenstone. 



RADCLIFFE OBSERVATORY 



The Radcliffe Observer, Mr. A. A. Rambaut, with his 

 customary courtesy, has supplied me with the following list 

 of trees and their measurements, and notes that the heights 

 may be accepted to within 10 ft. 



One of the oldest trees is the Mulberry, girth 7 ft., which 

 is shown in Hornsby's plan of the Garden in 1772.
