Three special trees to be planted in Castle Park, Frodsham

Cheshire West and Chester Council and Castle Park Trust have arranged for three special trees to be planted in Castle Park, Frodsham this week.

The three trees will be planted in the top field at the park in honour of our late Queen, His Majesty King Charles III and the late Marie Birkenhead.

Marie was a former Councillor of Vale Royal Borough Council and an Honorary Alderman who championed Frodsham and its residents throughout her life.

Leader of the Council, Councillor Louise Gittins said:

"These lovely trees will be a fitting tribute to the importance and significance of our late Queen, His Majesty the King and Marie Birkenhead. 

"The trees will also add to the distinctive array of trees at Castle Park, which has a remarkable 'tree trail' with numerous rare and beautiful species."

The following tress will be planted - for Marie Birkenhead, a Cherry (Prunus avium plena), for our Late Queen, a small-leaved lime (tilia cordata greenspire) and for his Majesty King Charles, a Lobel Elm (ulmus lobel - the Lobel Elm is resistant to Dutch Elm disease).

A formal dedication event will then take place in February.
