A trail for tree lovers has been set up by Bromley Council in Kelsey Park, Beckenham, to celebrate national tree week.

The circular route at the Kelsey Park Tree Trail takes in 25 species, which have been identified using marker posts.

Some of the more unusual trees include a Chinese Katsura tree, a Nepalese Bhutan Pine with banana shaped cones, a cucumber tree with inedible fruit that look like cucumbers and a tulip tree with tulip-like-fruit.

A leaflet, which has a map of the trail and descriptions of the different species can be bought from libraries, the Civic Centre and Kelsey Park Cafe for 10p.

Council woodlands officer David Barker said: The trees are one of the main defining features of the park.

The leaflet will allow people to learn a little about the trees origins, characteristics and relevance.

He added: We would like to thank the Friends of Kelsey Park for their valuable work in making the tree trail.
