The unrelentingly wet weather has claimed another arboreal victim.
A tree has succumbed in Dean’s Park, next to York Minster.
It had stood for many decades on the edge of the grass close to the Kohima War Memorial.
The tree, possibly a wild cherry, was still in full blossom when it fell.
Fencing and tape has been put around it, and a warning notice says: ‘Danger: Unstable Tree’.
The many months of rainfall, leaving the ground saturated, followed by periods of strong gusty winds, have claimed a number of mature trees in York.
During the floods in January, a tree came down in Tower Gardens. Another tree fell onto the city walls in December, claimed by Storm Pia.
And a giant branch fell onto the riverside footpath near the Blue Bridge in October.
