Tree planting seasons ends with hundreds of trees planted in Exeter

Hundreds of trees have been planted across Exeter, as the City Council continues to green up the city.

The latest figures mark the end of the tree planting season for Exeter City Council. 

Ninety-four trees have been put into the ground throughout Exeter by the City Council, with an additional 700 native species whips planted, thanks to a partnership with ParkLife South West to create woodland and hedge reinstatement in two small areas of the city. 

Twenty-two different species were planted at 56 locations across Exeter. These include flowering cherry, magnolia, maple, hawthorn, birch, rowan, whitebeam, apple and crab apple and flowering dogwood. 

Excluding the whips, the 94 trees during their lifespan will store a combined, estimated 231,973kg (232 tons) of carbon from the atmosphere.
