Description
Landscape view with the Norway spruce Picea abies on a lawn, with additional woodland behind.
Figure at pp.266/267 accompanying the paper ‘A report of the remarkable trees of Whitfield’, by a commissioner from the Woolhope Club. Transactions of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club, 1868 (Times Office, Hereford, 1869) pp.255-276.
Headed above: ‘THE REMARKABLE TREES OF HEREFORDSHIRE’. Printed below: ‘THE SILVER FIR. WHITFIELD. (Abies picea) APRIL, 1869. This fine tree is situated on the lawn at Whitfield, the residence of the Rev. Archer Clive. It has a circumference of 15ft. 5in. at five feet from the ground, and has a height of rather more than 100 feet. It was planted by Mr. Booth about 1750, and lost its leader in 1797. It is now, therefore, about 118 years old. Ladmore and Son, Photographers to the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club.’
