Trees. Anyone who spends time walking along the ‘cliffs’ in Westcliff/Southend will have seen the wonderful collection of Holm Oaks, or Quercus ilex, that reside there. These magnificent evergreen trees are often planted in coastal locations due to their tolerance of salt spray, they have a beautifully shaped crown and can grow up to 20 metres tall. Maybe not suitable for your average garden, but great for snoozing under on a gorgeous sunny afternoon, or climbing when out for a daily walk 🌳 #holmoak #quercusilex #treetuesday #treesofinstagram #plantsofinstagram #urbantrees #coastaltrees #coastalgardendesign #coastalplanting #southendonsea #seasideplanting #gardendesigner #gardendesignersouthend #gardendesignerleigh #gardendesignersofinstagram #thegardenrevampcompany #smallgardendesign #urbangarden #urbangardendesign (at Westcliff-On-Sea Seafront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAp8N81F6vk/?igshid=1r3b8znz9sifn
