Work is complete to transplant 12 Japanese Spindle trees to their new home on Madeira Drive Green Wall.

Thanks to volunteers, the Council, and their contractors, these trees should grow up like their 150 year old neighbours, and help restore another section of the UK’s oldest, longest green wall.

They were saved from building work above Concorde 2, and are each approximately 40 years old.

Coming up:

• Green Gym volunteer day on 8 November
• From 5 November, Council contractors manage the spindle and ivy along Duke’s Mound.
• Council contractors install guide wires along the section in these photos, to help the plants establish up the wall.
• Spring volunteer days to plant of more spindle along remaining gaps in the green wall.

Volunteers and donations or sponsorship from local businesses are welcome.
