A father and son duo have planted new trees at Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge.

In January 2025, former Head Gardener Richard Ayres revisited the National Trust property to plant a Black Walnut tree alongside his son, Chris, who has been gardening at Anglesey Abbey for nearly 40 years. 

The Black Walnut tree is one of three new trees that the gardening team have planted, and stands alongside a Mongolian Lime tree and a Bee tree in the Arboretum.

The new trees have been planted in place of a huge and much-loved Sycamore tree, which had to be felled in 2024 for safety reasons.
