Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

I've been looking at this beautiful tree through my office window for the past week or so and thinking that I don't remember having seen it before. But it's not a young tree.

So I went to the next street with my camera and took a few snaps.

I looked it up on the web when I got back and the only match I can find is jacaranda tree. 

I didn't think they grew here, but RHS says "Jacaranda mimosifolia - widely grown in warmer regions and familiar to many from holidays to such parts - is available in the UK." So perhaps this is a Jacaranda.

And here's a typical Harringay scene (clears throat) - a spreading chestnut tree over the New River framed by a jacaranda tree.

There are two of these on Green Lanes as street trees. They’re just by beresford road bus stop oppositie jam in a jar. They are just starting to drop their flowers so be quick to see them. 

They're stunning.
