The new edition of the Royal Horticultural Society’s magazine The Garden, which goes out to all its 475,000 members, carries an excellent review of the new edition of London’s Street Trees by none other than the Curator of its flagship garden at Wisley in Surrey, Matthew Pottage. He praises Paul Wood’s book as ‘a fascinating and informative guide of the real-life tree stock of our capital city’ . ‘As someone who walked miles around West London during London’, he goes on, ‘and discovered many fascinating trees, I wholeheartedly recommend these urban walks, and of course this book should be firmly in hand… There is little that can compete with this up-to-date and specific topic,’ he concludes, and ‘surely such a book deserves its place on every tree lover’s bookshelf.’
