Deciduous trees shed their leaves for the winter but you can still use key characteristics such as tree shape, tree branches, buds, thorns, catkins, bark and old fruit and leaves to identify them. In this session Caroline Jackson will teach you diagnostic methods to correctly identify the most common trees you will see in Britain.

Participants will be walking outside for much of the course so please come prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear.

Tutor: Caroline Jackson

Your ticket includes:
  • Entry to RHS Wisley, the RHS flagship garden
