Moving the Stone Pine

In August 2016 a number of trees and shrubs were planted to replace plants lost over the previous few years including a Stone Pine to replace the lost Bishop's Pine. The pine was planted outside Hurst and close to Pembroke Rd in place of the orginal tree and has been growing slowly but was overshadowed by nearby trees and bushy shrubs and, in addition, had been uprooted at one stage.
With the removal of the dangerous radiata pine in May 2018, the Stone Pine was transplanted to the open space created in the hope that it will survive and thrive in its new location.
