The Glasnost Tree

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Society we planted 50 mixed woodland species to the east of the park extension that would have screened the new development that has gone up. Unfortunately, with the very dry summer that followed not many saplings took, which was not helped by the fact that the council mowed the area and cut most of what was left down. A nice idea did not come to fruition.

Three Mediterranean Pines planted by Lady Hobson our Patron.

One Handkerchief Tree planted to commemorate the Village Green status. Planted by Cllr Hugh Rayner, the then Mayor. There is a plaque.

In celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee an Acer x Freemanii was planted by the Society 7th October 2012.
This tree had to be replaced as the council damaged the original.

Huge elms that died of Dutch elm disease were replaced at the request of MHPS by John Hart with the trees there now, including a cedar.

In front of the petrol station a Norway Maple was planted.

MHPS suggested the Gingko Biloba outside Iceland – it is a male tree: the first planted as a street tree in Barnet at John Hart’s suggestion. NB: Later, a female variety of the species was planted outside Mill Hill Wines.
