Prior to 2006, I had had no reports of mature Poncirus trifoliata specimens growing
in the north of England, so I was particularly pleased to hear from botanical
artist Nikki Abramson with news and photos of this specimen. The plant
is growing in the front garden of a private house in Park Avenue, Hull and
is known to be over forty years old. |

Newby Hall, near Ripon |
I have not seen the tree myself, but have come across a photo on the internet
- with thanks to Nick W. and Picasa Web Albums. |
At one time the official Newby Hall website had a map and plantlist with locations, but I can't find it any more. However, it
is mentioned as being in the 'Autumn Garden', which you can locate from my interactive map. |
North of England specimens |
Belsay Hall & Gardens, Northumberland |
Another Poncirus trifoliata specimen that I can't claim to have seen myself, but
notable for being the furthest North I have so far located in England! Although difficult to judge the age of the plant without seeing the trunk, it is mature enough to have at least a few flowers. |
