Bird Cherry in St John’s Avenue, Purbrook.  A pity about the shape, but the flowers are attractive.

This Manna Ash (also known as flowering ash) fraxinus ornus was seen in Gatcombe Park, Hilsea.  It’s outside the Borough, but worth showing.  Thursday 23rd April 2020.

I took this photo of a notable oak during one of my daily walks. From the line at bench height, it looks as though it was constrained at some point; perhaps there was a bench around the trunk.
I would need assistance to measure the trunk, so that will have to wait until the rules on social distancing are relaxed.
