Being Green - 12 Feb 2021

In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to arborist and Chairman of the Friends of the Arderne Gardens, Francois Krige, about efforts to save a 150-year-old Cork Oak which fell over recently. It is one of six so-called Champion Trees in the garden, a designation given to exceptional trees that represent a unique part of the nation's forest heritage. Established some 175 years ago by British timber merchant, Ralph Henry Arderne, the gardens are home to the largest collection in South Africa of exotic trees.
