THE CITY OF TREES
NEARLY 17,000 PLANTED IN ABERDEEN Aberdeen, Scotland's famous granite city and holiday resort, is| particularly in the news this year when so many towns and cities throughout Britain are planting trees as part of their celebrations to mark the Coronation fo Queen Elizabeth II. Few piaces can boast of so many trees planted along its streets as Aberdeen. Within the city alone there are approximately 74 miles of streets and roads planted with trees. Of the total number of 16,830, 2,185 are flowering trees, and 14,015 are of the forest type. Pride of place probably goes to the double flowering cherries which make the city more than usually attractive in June, and concerning which the Parks Department receives many enquiries from all over the world. Other trees include* lime, elm, sycamore, ash, beech and acer, thorns, cotoneasters and prunus.
