That's 38 different species (if you count hazel as two), well over 2,000 trees (if you count them all as trees - they're all taller than I am). There are some further ornamental trees that I've yet to identify and I seem to discover new trees every day tucked inside the hedgerows. Can't wait for most of them to grow bigger!
