Plant of the Day
Wednesday 8 January 2025
At Goodnestone Park, Kent, the estate has relatively recently planted a 500m-long Platanus orientalis (oriental plane, eastern plane, chinar tree) tree avenue, leading from the house to the local village. The lower branches of each tree had recently been pruned to lift the canopy. It was great to see the planting of such a major feature which will only become more impressive with time.
