A Hawthorn adds a touch of magic and a whole wealth of biodiversity to a city car park 🦋🪄
Ireland's, and indeed Britain's, native trees have magic and character. It is beyond me why authorities insist on planting generic, and often invasive, garbage trees like Sycamore and Himalayan Birch on our streets 🌳✨
This one Hawthorn, in it's ivy coat, supports up to 300 different species including about 150 species of insects 🐝
Just a few weeks ago it was bedecked in white blossoms and now thousands of berries are beginning to develop 🍒
Planting useless ornamentals deprives our cities of character and wildlife of the helping hand that they so desperately need 🪶💚
