Armed with my copy of Rex Hancy's great little book Notable Trees of Norwich I spent a very enjoyable and educational couple of hours doing a couple of the walks suggested. Gettng to Norwich early meant I missed the crowds but unfortunately Chapelfield Gardens was a bit of a mess as they'd had an event there the night before and were still clearing up.
This is the chronological list of what I saw and where:
Manna Ash - Haymarket
Turkey Oak - Haymarket
Oriental Plane - Guildhall
Turkish Hazel - London Street
Silver Maple - Dove Street/Pottergate
Pin Oak - Castle Meadow
Huntingdon Elm - Cattle Market Street
Caucasian Elm - Castle Gardens
Silver Lime - Chapelfield Gardens
Foxglove Tree - Chapelfield Gardens
Deodar Cedar - Chapelfield Gardens
Black Walnut - Chapelfield Gardens
Large-toothed Elm - Rosary Road
The latter isn't in the book, I was following up a find by Alex Prendergast. On my way out of the city I also stopped by in Bracondale where I quickly found the patch of Fiddle Dock that Louis Parkerson told me about a couple of weeks ago.
