500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci claimed that a tree's trunk splits with mathematical precision, meaning in the combined thickness of all the branches at a specific height being equal to the thickness of the trunk.
And guess what? He was right!

Copenhagen is planting communal fruit trees around the city so that everyone will be able to enjoy fresh fruit, even if they don't have a garden.

The right trees in the right places can provide many environmental and economic gains. Yet, importantly for me, there are huge benefits for health and wellbeing, with woodlands providing opportunities for walking, cycling and many other recreational activities. #Forests100

You may recall me posting a picture of an Albert Square street tree the roots of which were spreading across the road. Lambeth Council have now fixed the problem not by felling the tree but by forming a green build out. Sheffield and other councils can learn from this

Absolute giant of a sweet chestnut in West Sussex. Probably over 600 years old. Can these trees be redefined as megaflora? @AncientTreesATF #ancienttrees

Another incredible Weald Park hornbeam. This one is just reaching middle age.
With an impressive 20m+ Rowan leaning away and over topping it to survive.

The pollution buffering of woods & trees even slightly remote from people is much less effective than street trees growing right where people live & work. #TreeTruths That's why Singapore plants (not cuts) so many trees near a big source of pollution harm, roads. #SaveSheffTrees

Leaves produce oxygen, absorb CO2 and intercept air borne particles. They are at the front line in the fight against pollution. A mature London plane tree like this is at least 600 times as effective as a sapling. Keep that in mind when someone says they are 'replacing' a tree.

This is one scene of several acts of brutality on Sheffield residential streets today. A person tried to protect a tree from felling and was tackled to the ground and restrained. @SheffCouncil & @Ameyplc are sanctioning these tactics to fell mostly healthy trees. What next?
