The Trees

It’s not just the magnificent plane trees on the riverside walk and the stunning lime avenue behind it that make Wandsworth Park stand out for tree lovers.

We now have over 60 different tree species in the park, with new plantings that include Dutch Elm Disease Resistant elms, Black walnuts, an Empress and exotic Cherry Trees, a Golden Rain tree … even a Pecan tree! These complement mature native trees like oak and field maple to provide an Arboretum that is a rich and essential habitat for wildlife including insects, bats and birds.

The Friends have labelled many of these trees to ease identification and have created a Tree Map to help you see the collection.
