Running through the Park, I have noticed a thick drift of soft ‘fluff’ which on closer inspection is the remains of the flowers from the beech trees. We tend to forget that trees – other than obvious ones like fruit trees and horse chestnuts – have flowers. How else would they produce seeds for the next generation. Most trees rely on the wind for pollination so don’t need decorative flowers to attract insects – hence the small fluffy nondescript brown flowers on the beech tree.
