Three unusual avenues of trees that challenge the norm: eucalypt, beach and oak.

This week on The Horti-Culturalists we take a close look at three alternative avenues of trees; alternative to the regular notion of straight rows of typical tree species. We take a look at the spectacular century old curved avenue of Corymbia citriodora, or lemon scented gum, at historic Cruden Farm. We'll revisit a gothic avenue of Copper Beach, or Fagus sylvatica, we filmed at the private garden 'Reverie' over summer. And lastly take a look at an unusual avenue of Quercus palustris, or pin oak, we filmed in the height of it's fabulous autumn colour that is planted in triple rows with grand architectural ambitions! Many thanks to the team at Cruden Farm and Head Gardener Mitch Burns who talked to us about the historic avenue of trees in his care.
