Informative B: replacement tree planting species suggestion such as pear, mulberry, medlar, hazel, quince (Cydonia oblonga), Cornus mas, crab apple, desert or cooking apple, Amelanchier, for wildlife, flood mitigation by reducing rain run-off and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change, planted in any suitable location in rear garden.
