Cambridge Tree Locator: Ca-Co
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.
| Calocedrus decurrens (Incense Cedar) | There is one by Trumpington Street in Little St Mary's Churchyard [map]; there are also a clump of three (or a tree with three leaders) in Christ's College, just visible behind the wall at the NW corner of Christ's Pieces | |
| Carpinus betulus (Common Hornbeam) | Ho | There are a couple of type trees to the W of Jesus Lock Footbridge, across the river from Jesus Green; the fastigiate form ‘Fastigiata’ is common as a street tree, e.g. the two fine trees at the junction of Victoria Park with Victoria Road [map] |
| Castanea sativa (Sweet Chestnut) | Sweet Chestnuts don't like Cambridge chalk, but there are some large trees out at Histon at the NE corner of The Coppice [map] (on the Upper Greensand here!) | |
| Catalpa bignonioides (Indian Bean) | IB | Two medium-sized trees, one at either end of Christ's Pieces; others in Wulfstan Way near the junction with Cherry Hinton Road [map], and outside Tesco's in Campkin Road [map] |
| Cedrus atlantica (Atlas Cedar) | Young bluish (f.glauca) trees are easy to identify; older, greener trees are hard to separate from C.libani. There are young blue trees at the entrance to the Science Park [map] and at the SE corner of Robinson College on Grange Road [map]. The tree beside Castle Mound appears to be C.atlantica [map]. There are huge specimens of all three Cedrus species in the Botanic Gardens, all looking (to my eyes) very similar! | |
| Cedrus deodara (Deodar) | A common garden tree; there is a fairly large one on the inside of the bend in Water Lane, Chesterton [map]; also at the NE corner of West Road Concert Hall [map]; there is a fine ‘Aurea’ on the S side of Courtney Way off Gilbert Road [map]; one or two of the younger garden trees appear to be the weeping ‘Pendula’ form | |
| Cedrus libani (Cedar of Lebanon) | Can be hard to separate from C.atlantica, but the large tree in Brookside [map] is C.libani | |
| Cercidiphyllum japonicum (Katsura) | A single small tree in a garden on the N side of Humberstone Road [map] | |
| Cercis siliquastrum (Judas Tree) | Ju | Fairly common in gardens; three young trees on the N side of the swimming pool across from Parker's Piece; a larger tree at the N edge of Lammas Land |
| Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Lawson's Cypress) | LC | A very common tree: there are fair-sized examples in the middle of Alexandra Gardens and near the centre of Histon Road Cemetery; cultivars are also common, although they are hard to specify with confidence, except for the very distinctive ‘Wisselii’, of which there is an example on the E side of Hurst Park Avenue, near the N end [map] |
| Chamaecyparis obtusa (Hinoki Cypress) | Hin | Only represented by its cultivars: two small trees near the N end of Alexandra Gardens appear to be ‘Crippsii’ |
| Chamaecyparis pisifera (Sawara Cypress) | The ‘Squarrosa’ cultivar is widespread | |
| Cordyline australis (Cabbage Palm) | Common in gardens: four largish trees on the E side of Brookside, towards the N end [map] | |
| Cornus kousa (Strawberry Dogwood) | One in Fen Ditton, 50m up the lane at the end of the footpath from Cambridge [map] | |
| Cornus mas (Cornelian Cherry) | CC | Quite common in gardens but only obvious when flowering; two small trees lurking in the W corner of Alexandra Gardens |
| Cornus sanguinea (Common Dogwood) | Dg | Common near water: there are several near the S tip of Sheep's Green |
| Cornus avellana (Common Hazel) | One at the S corner of Emmanuel College, by St Andrews Street [map]; some gardens have Corkscrew Hazels (‘Contorta’) - there is a mature one at the W corner of the junction of Brimley Road and Redfern Close [map] | |
| Cornus colurna (Turkish Hazel) | A neatly-shaped street tree: a row on the E side of Garlic Row S of its junction with Mercer's Row [map]; two largish trees in the recreation ground by Cam Causeway [map] | |
| Corylus maxima (Filbert) | Beside the Hazel at the S corner of Emmanuel College on St Andrews Street [map] | |
| Cotinus coggygria (Smoke-bush) | Sm | An example of the scarcer type tree in front of Sherlock Court on Sherlock Road [map]; purple forms common in gardens, also at the N edge of Christ's Pieces |
