Trees of Mediaeval England

Read the Time Travellers Guide to Mediaeval England by Ian Mortimer, and this section on trees struck out:

Quote:
The trees which cover England are largely those introduced during the Bronze Age and Roman periods mingled with the species which repopulated the British Isles after the last ice age: rowan, ash, alder, field maple, hazel, sweet chestnut, whitebeam, aspen, some poplars, silver birch, beech, lime, walnut, willow, elm and hornbeam.
He also adds Scots Pine, Yew and Juniper as the only evergreen trees; but also adds sessile and pedunculate oaks to the list.

Just found this very interesting and worth observing for authenticity,

Re: Trees of Mediaeval England

Just noticed this post. Looks like another one to be added to the research shelf.
