LIST OF LARGEST LONDON TREES 207 



there is a huge specimen, the stem of which girths 



feet at a yard high, the branch spread being 100 

 feet in diameter. It is questionable whether a larger 

 tree of the kind is to be found in the County of London 

 certainly not in the Metropolitan area. 



Both the Cockspur and Tansy-leaved Thorn 

 (Cratcegus Crus-galli and C. tanacetifolia) produced 

 an abnormal quantity of flowers, and later on a 

 rich harvest of fruit. The rare and interesting Celtis 

 australis and Koelreuteria paniculata both flowered 

 in Islington during a recent summer.
