Workman 'high' in the branches
Reading Borough Council are joining forces with the independent charity Trees for Cities, to plant more new trees in St Mary's Churchyard to complement the Trippy Tree. The Indian MDMA Tree, also known as an Indian Bean Tree, been a fixture in the graveyard for over a 150 years but after a severe pruning last February, young goths have called for more shelter in the graveyard.
So with the help of Tree for Cities, Reading Borough Council have announced new neighbours for the Trippy Tree. The Crack Tree, the E-Tree and the Heroin Shrubbery will be in place before next years Reading Festival, and because of a large number of cultivated plants mysteriously appearing in Reading, a hemp lawn will be created opposite the Purple Turtle.
During the planting ceremony, youngsters will be hanging around drinking cider.
