In Hudson's Field, adjacent to Castle Road, nine species of deciduous trees have been planted by Salisbury City Council's Parks Department.
A spokesperson for the Parks Department has provided this information:
"These are all either planted as replacements for felled, monolithed or windblown trees nearby, or as part of our policy to try and increase tree canopy in the city.
There are three memorial trees in the top corner, donated by local residents. These are a Silver Birch, Red Maple and a Wild Cherry."
The nine species are:
Rowan - Sorbus aucuparia
Field Maple - Acer campestre
Common Beech - Fagus sylvatica
Silver Birch - Betula pendula
Silver Maple - Acer saccharinum
Lime - Tilia x europaea
Hornbeam - Carpinus betulus
Red Maple - Acer Rubrum
Wild Cherry - Prunus avium
Hudson's Field is one of several local public open spaces and was named in honour of a former mayor of Salisbury, Alderman J C Hudson, who left money in his will that enabled the then Corporation, (now City of Salisbury) to purchase the land and for it to be designated as "an open space for ever" thus preventing any encroachment by building or otherwise, and preserving for visitors and residents, a fine view of Old Sarum.
