TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL

Its getting heavy in NW London / Herts etc. but most of the trees here
have had dense, healthy looking foliage for a couple of months, which
ought to help them. However if last year is anything to go by it will
worsen rapidly. I saw a few around December last year putting on
scattered flowers and a few leaves, so their phenology had been badly
thrown out. Like Jerry et al I wouldn't expect branch drop to be
serious in this state - though there is a massive oak limb across one of
my favourite local footpaths, hope the owner doesn't panic and fell the
whole line.
