| Parrotia persica (Persian Ironwood) | A small tree in Corpus Christi grounds on the SW corner of the junction of Benet Street and Free School Lanel [map]; a larger tree on the main lawn in front of Cherry Hinton Hall [map]; another in the grounds of the old Milton Road School beside Gilbert Road [map] | |
| Paulownia tomentosa (Foxglove Tree) | Emmanuel College North Court has a fine tree just visible from Emmanuel Street [map] | |
| Picea abies (Norway Spruce) | No | Common: a fair-size tree just downhill a few yards on the outside of the bend in Mount Pleasant [map]; another by the E corner of Alexandra Gardens |
| Picea omorika (Serbian Spruce) | In a few gardens; a medium-sized tree towards the SE side of the main lawn at Cherry Hinton Hall [map] | |
| Picea pungens (Blue Colorado Spruce) | Fairly common in gardens: there is a fairly large one about halfway down the W side of the W section of Storey's Way [map] | |
| Pinus nigra (Austrian/Corsican Pine) | AP CP | Mill Road Cemetery has several fine Austrian Pines (ssp.nigra), and also probably a Corsican Pine (ssp.laricio) towards the NE corner of the main part of the cemetery |
| Pinus pinaster (Maritime Pine) | Mar | A fine tree near the NE corner of the main part of Mill Road Cemetery |
| Pinus radiata (Monterey Pine) | Several beside the ramp up to the Carter Cycle Bridge in Devonshire Road [map] | |
| Pinus sylvestris (Scots Pine) | Not nearly as common as P.nigra in Cambridge: there are two on the E side of Grange Road, 150m N of Barton Road [map]; also one on the NW corner of Fisher Street and Hilda Street [map] | |
| Pinus wallichiana (Bhutan Pine) | Small trees are fairly common in gardens; there are a few medium-sized trees in front of Orwell House near the junction of Cowley Road with Milton Road [map]. There is a fine mature specimen in the churchyard of Great Shelford Church [map] | |
| Pittosporum tenuifolium (Kohuhu) | P | Along the side of Westcott House Chapel beside Jesus Lane [map] |
| Platanus x hispanica (London Plane) | P | Everywhere: a particularly fine avenue runs across Jesus Green |
| Platanus orientalis (Oriental Plane) | OP | A huge tree hangs over the wall of Emmanuel College opposite the Drummer Street coach stops near Christ's Pieces; a tall specimen planted in 1802 can be seen in Jesus College on the left from the entrance to "The Chimney" [map]; a young sapling of ‘Digitata’ on Midsummer Common near the Four Lamps roundabout |
| Platycladus orientalis (Oriental Thuja) | OT OTE | Two in Mill Road Cemetery, and one in Histon Road Cemetery with an ‘Elegantissima’ nearby |
| Populus ‘Balsam Spire’ (Balsam Spire Poplar) | Ba | The moribund tree behind the Garden House Hotel on Coe Fen is probably one; there may be other young trees along the boundary ditch between Coe Fen and the hotel |
| Populus alba (White Poplar) | Seldom planted so not common within the city, but highly conspicuous: there is one in the woodland opposite Riverside [map]; also on Stourbridge Common 100m S of the rail footbridge [map]; and several beside the cycle path near the NE corner of Fulbourn Tesco [map]; there are two of the fastigiate Bolle's Poplar (‘Pyramidalis’) towards the W corner of the recreation ground behind Nuns Way [map] | |
| Populus x canadensis (Hybrid Black Poplar) | BP | Three severely-lopped trees near Cutter Ferry Footbridge on Midsummer Common; a large tree at the N end of Sheep's Green |
| Populus canescens (Grey Poplar) | Fairly frequent, but sometimes hard to differentiate confidently from White Poplar: one just SE of the pedestrian underpass under Northfield Road [map]; a long line of them along the old railway line S of the Trumpington/Addenbrookes footpath [map] | |
| Populus nigra (Wild Black Poplar) | Lo | Type trees (ssp.betulifolia) are rare: there are three very tall ones in a (private) field in Fen Ditton [map], visible from the end of the Cambridge footpath or from across the river; there are also two young trees on the recreation ground bordering on Nuns Way [map]. Far more common is the fastigiate Lombardy Poplar (‘Italica’), with many mature trees on both the north and south parts of Sheep's Green |
| Populus tremula (Aspen) | A clump in Histon Road Recreation Ground, about 50m NW of the Histon Road entrance [map]; there is a small fastigiate ‘Erecta’ in the garden of St Catherine's Masters Lodge beside Queens' Lane [map] |
