Beech tree and oak.
The beech tree near me, which is very huge, had shed some of its nuts, due to the rain and high winds which we had lately, it's a timely reminder that autumn will be with us shortly . A lot of people complain about it , but the way I see it, it is a home for the birds and other creatures that live in it. It's shades the gardens nearby from the sun. Also it helps with the downpours , stops us flooding. We are on flat ground and people have put in car ports and doing away with their front gardens and they wonder why the water don't go down quickly, I know they have the storm drains put in, but some of them cannot cope very well. It's like a friends neighbour , they had a oak tree cut down and wondered why their front lawn was flooded and my friend's front lawn was flooded as well, till they where told, that the tree helped with drinking so much water, I think they regret it now having it cut down and it was a haven for the birds etc. moan over.
