Crew Clothing Company
When the Square was redeveloped early in the 1990s, trees were planted in three of the corners. Two of the originals had to be replaced and you should be able to spot which is the remaining original (it is the one with the greatest girth in the north east corner). The branches are graceful and arching with light foliage which allows the sun to shine down to the ground. The leaves are formed of five lobes and the apical lobe has a distinctive waist. This is typical of this variety of Silver Maple which is known as ‘Laciniatum’. It was introduced into Britain in 1875. The leaves have a long stalk and produce a shimmering effect in the sunlight because of their green upper surface and silvery white underside.
