After nearly two years of showing no signs of life what-so-ever (we first wrote to Paul Akers, Arboricultural Manager at City Hall, to request a replacement on 19th July 2014), the tree is blossoming beautifully.
Many congratulations must go to Dr Sardar Ahmed who never gave up on the tree and has clearly nursed it back to life.
We have written to Mr Akers to tell him the good news and to let him know that he can remove the replacement of the tree from his to-do list.
