One county, many landscapes
Dorset's soil changes every few miles, and so do its trees and what they need.
The conurbation
Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch: big Victorian pines and oaks close to houses, many protected by BCP Council.
Chalk downland
Blandford, Dorchester and Cranborne Chase: beech and ash on thin soils, with ash dieback widespread.
River valleys
The Stour, Frome, Piddle and Allen: willows, alders and poplars on wet ground.
Clay vales and West Dorset
Sturminster Newton, Gillingham, Sherborne, Beaminster and Bridport: big hedgerow oaks and ash.
The coast
Swanage, Weymouth, Lyme Regis and Highcliffe: salt-shaped holm oaks, pines and coastal hedges.
