what kind of trees are in hyde park london
Hyde Park, London During the late 20th century, over 9,000 elm trees in Hyde Park were killed by Dutch elm disease. This included many trees along the great avenues planted by Queen Caroline, which were ultimately replaced by limes and maples.[40][44] The park now holds 4 acres (1.6Â ha) of greenhouses which hold the bedding plants for the Royal Parks. A scheme is available to adopt trees in the park, which helps fund their upkeep and maintenance.[40] A botanical curiosity is the weeping beech, which is known as "the upside-down tree".[45] A rose garden, designed by Colvin & Moggridge Landscape Architects, was added in 1994.[46]
Hampstead Ponds The men and women's ponds are on the eastern side of the park, off of Millfield Lane. The mixed bathing pond is in the centre of the Heath, and is a 10-15 minute walk from Hampstead Heath railway station and from South End Green, at the junction of Pond Street and East Heath Road, which is served by several bus routes.
