BOTANICS’ TALLEST TREE IS AMONG 15 LOST – 27 MORE DAMAGED
Botanics staff reported:
‘We’re sad to announce that #StormÉowyn has caused severe damage across our Gardens.
‘At #Edinburgh, 15 trees have been lost – either uprooted or damaged beyond recovery. This includes the Garden’s tallest tree, the 29-metre Cedrus deodara, planted in 1859.
‘A further 27 trees have been heavily damaged, and more than 100 panes of glass have been lost from our glasshouses.’
The Botanics team has initiated a major clearup programme and, despite considerable damage across the site, the popular Gardens reopened yesterday.
