Deal's car park trees

In Deal the lichens were swollen on the Ash tree trunks in Sainsbury's car park after heavy rain. In this first view the central grey-green Flavoparmelia species is dominant, with the orange Xanthoria in smaller patches to the right.

Here is a closer view of a slightly different area below and to the right of the Flavoparmelia. Here is the Lecidella elaeochroma with the black borderless fruit.

The greyish jam tarts to the bottom right are probably Lecanora chlarotera, rather crowded, but I do not know what the one on the top left, even more crowded, is. It is however possible that they are the same species. There is a small frond of possibly Parmelia rather than Physcia, but again it is rather difficult to tell.

The Ash trees were showing a little Chalara dieback, but not terminal yet.

Next to the railway station there are three or four Snow Gums, Eucalyptus pauciflors ssp niphophila, with the most amazing trunks.

Further along in the Network Rail car park there were a couple of newly planted trees (very nice to see)  including this one, which looked like a nice Crab Apple.

By the station fence itself there were two quite well established Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) trees in flower, and with the pale new leaves and shoots clothing the dark older ones further in to the canopy.

This is (I think) a fairly typical young Holm Oak trunk with splitting blackish bark.

In a car park nearer the sea, there were good numbers of Norway Maple, Acer platanoides, showing quite a bit of dieback.

There was also a very nice group of Birches, Betula spp.

Many of the tree planting beds show some excellent gardening:

This was an excellent bed in Sainsbury's of all places!
