I would add my voice in agreement with John & Simon. Its the "awkward"
special individuals that I remember and relate too.

Of course isolated quirky specimens, full of character are important but God
help the look of urban areas if that's all we end up with and have to rely
on.

We need green bulk with a good-age class distribution and that may involve
the slightly premature culling of some individuals or species - every year.

Drive between Esher and Hampton Court in Surrey to see a classic example of
initial dodgy tree selection (mainly Prunus Kanzan) that have all been half
dead for 20 years yet still have not been completely replaced.

Surely, Prunus Kanzan (1000's of which were planted in urban areas in the
50's, 60's and 70's) cannot be described as "special" or memorable in any
way whatsoever.
