Stanmore Country Park Nature Trail
Post 8: To the right of the post is a small tree of cherry plum Prunus cerasifera. Although not a native to Britain, it is common, in part because it was often used as the rootstock for other commercial plum varieties. Cherry plum is one of the first trees to flower in spring. There are many cherry plum trees on Wood Farm to the north that flower when the season still seems stuck in winter.

From this point, continue along the edge of the clearing, crossing the London LOOP Link path.
