Cambridge Tree Locator: Ai-Ar
Links in the third column are to maps displaying tree locations. Links in brackets are to Multimap ; normal links are to specific Cambridge tree maps, the second column containing the abbreviation(s) used for the tree on the map.
| Ailanthus altissima (Tree of Heaven) | TH | A commonly-planted tree, and sometimes an invasive weed. There is a tall tree in All Souls Churchyard in the City Centre, and another in Eltisley Avenue, Newnham [map]; there are four large trees in the cut-off section of Chesterton Road [map], and several trees beside the council depot on the NW side of the Mill Road railway bridge [map] |
| Albizia julibrissin (Pink Siris) | A single small tree in a front garden on the E side of King's Hedges Road, 50m N of the junction with Ramsden Square [map] | |
| Alnus cordata (Italian Alder) | IA | A common street and amenity tree: there is a row of fairly large trees at the NE corner of Lammas Land; the largest trees are probably the five on Cockerell Road in Arbury [map]; St Bede's Crescent also has many mature trees [map] |
| Alnus glutinosa (Common Alder) | Al | Several on Sheep's Green, including a group across the mill stream from the paddling pool on Lammas Land; there is a tiny sapling of the feathery ‘Laciniata’ form beside the paddling pool on Lammas Land and, rather surprisingly, a much larger ‘Laciniata’ on the W side of Greystoke Road 50m S of the junction with Cherry Hinton Road [map] |
| Alnus incana (Grey Alder) | G | Several near the toilets at the S corner of Parker's Piece |
| Amelanchier lamarckii (Snowy Mespil) | A common street tree: older trees may be found in Redfern Close, Arbury [map] and in Long Reach Road, Chesterton [map] | |
| Aralia elata (Japanese Angelica Tree) | JA | A small tree tucked away in Holy Trinity Churchyard in the City Centre; also an unkempt specimen on the SE corner of the junction of Newmarket Road and Coldham's Lane [map] |
| Araucaria araucana (Monkey Puzzle) | Young trees are fairly common in gardens. There is an older female tree by Springfield Terrace in New Chesterton [map] and a fine male and female pair on the W side of Cambridge Road, Histon, just S of Highfield Road [map] | |
| Arbutus unedo (Strawberry Tree) | Fairly common, but not obvious except when fruiting. Several trees peep over the wall of Magdalen College on the SE corner of the junction of Bridge Street and Chesterton Lane [map]; there is also a tree just inside Jesus College grounds about 50m N of the Four Lamps roundabout on the W side of Victoria Avenue [map] |
