This week there was concern when Oxford City Council had to cut down one of Bertie Park’s cherry trees.
It is sad, but the tree had been condemned. You can see below a large hole in the side of the trunk, filled with gunge. The tree stump has a orange powdery mess in the middle.
This happens at a difficult time. We are still waiting to find out when Oxford City Council will decide whether they can appropriate the park. After many cancellations, there is now a question mark over whether this will happen in July.
