Cherry tree survey

The 2011 spring cherry tree survey has now closed but it will take place again next year. You can continue to survey common UK street trees for the urban tree survey.

Take part in the urban tree survey

Watch the video above for insider tips from Museum botanist Bob Press, on how to identify cherry trees in spring.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the 2010 and 2011 cherry tree surveys. We hope you’ll take part again next spring. The information you have gathered is being analysed and will help Museum scientists get a better understanding of cherries in urban areas.
