The dead branches of the Sycamore tree on the pavement outside numbers 6 and 8 Widmore Lodge Road have now been visible for at least two years and increase in number every year. The fear is they may fall and cause injury or damage.

  • Now the tree has been felled, will a replacement tree be planted ?

    If so could we request an Amelanchier Snow Flake or Ballerina as you planted outside number 13 Widmore Lodge Road, Bromley BR1 2QE

    Thank you

  • I’m sure you’ve realised and are aware but just to confirm the original yellow marker was put in the wrong location. My apologies.

  • Thank you for your comments. Works have been raised to grind out the stump which is in hand to be completed. A replacement has been added to the planting schedule, selecting a 'Robin Hill'. As the cut-off point for the upcoming planting season was end of August 2024, we cannot guarantee we will replace the tree this time round but we will try out best.

  • Instead of planting a ‘Robin Hill’ in the place of the cut down Sycamore tree, would it be possible to replant with a Ginko tree instead with its radiant yellow leaves in the autumn

  • That should of course read Gingko 😊
