Picture of Leeds churchyard tree identification post.
This is the last in a short series of pictures from the churchyard of the Church of St.John the Evangelist, Wortley
This picture shows one of a number of name posts scattered around the churchyard enabling visitors to identify the various trees, shrubs etc that are growing here.
This post in front of a tall, old tree reads..
Ash fraxinus excelsior
Common native tree easily identified in Winter by its very dark buds. Mature trees are a favourite habitat for bats.
This tree appears to date back to 1856 judging by the nearby gravestone!
I did not add the last line, but I could well have done so.
