Cambridge Tree Locator: D-F
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.
| Davidia involucrata (Dove Tree) | There is apparently a large tree on Dean's Walk in Clare College | |
| Eucalyptus gunnii (Cider Gum) | CG | By far the majority of eucalyptus trees in Cambridge are this species, for example the one overlooking Midsummer Common |
| Euonymus europaea (Spindle) | Sp | Easily overlooked except when fruiting; there are small trees just to the E of the lock-keeper's cottage on Jesus Green and one on the N side of the river by the E side of Jesus Lock footbridge |
| Fagus sylvatica (Common Beech) | Be CB DB | A whole wood-full in Beechwood Nature Reserve at the foot of the Gogs [map]; a fine row in Brookside [map]; several in Mill Road Cemetery. Copper Beeches (f.purpurea) are excessively common: there is a very large one 180m down Glebe Road from Hills Road [map], and another striking one on the W side of Histon Road, 100m N of Carisbrooke Road [map]. There are large fastigiate ‘Dawyck’ trees around the side of St Johns College in the City Centre and some smaller ones in front of Parkside Police Station [map]; there are some saplings of the purple variant ‘Dawyck Purple’ at the NE corner of the junction of Riverside and the Tesco cycle path [map]. There is a mature Fern-leaved Beech (‘Aspleniifolia’) near the SE exit from Cherry Hinton Hall [map] and another on the E side of Hobson's Brook about 100m S of Brooklands Avenue [map] |
| Ficus carica (Fig) | F | A common garden tree: there is a medium-sized tree where the Coe Fen cycle path joins the turning-area by the Garden House Hotel |
| Fraxinus angustifolia (Narrow-leaved Ash) | CA | Only found in Cambridge as the common Claret Ash (ssp.oxycarpa ‘Raywood’) planted along many roads including Huntingdon Road towards NIAB [map] and Newmarket Road level with B&Q [map]; there are also several trees in Mill Road Cemetery |
| Fraxinus excelsior (Common Ash) | A | Very common, e.g. in Mill Road Cemetery; there is a particularly fine tree at the Fen Road level crossing near Baits Bite [map]. The weeping form ‘Pendula’ is a must-have feature of most Cambridge churchyards and cemeteries, appropriately enough since it derives from a tree in Gamlingay Churchyard. There is a large tree in St.Andrew the Great churchyard in the City Centre and more accessible trees on Christ's Pieces and in Histon Road Cemetery |
| Fraxinus ornus (Manna Ash) | MA | Widely planted for its summer flowers, there is one in All Souls Churchyard in the City Centre and on Laundress Green at the top of Sheep's Green; there are also several in Mill Road Cemetery |
| Fraxinus pennsylvanica (Red Ash) | GA | A young tree on the E side of Jesus Green |
