Indian bean tree planted

23 March 2006

A new Indian bean tree has taken its place in ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's Front Quad.

Bean tree

It replaces the original long-term resident Indian bean tree, which was felled on 14 March 2006 due to being rotten to the core and, therefore, a safety risk.

Tony Overbury (¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Estates & Facilities) supervised the delivery and planting of the new tree. At 20 years old, it is a semi-mature tree, which was shipped from Germany to fill the space left by its predecessor.

Parts of the original tree were given to two groups of scientists at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº for experimentation, and to other members of the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº community to keep as mementos.
