Cambridge 2000: Lower Park Street
| Description: Lower Park Street: wisteria |
| Date built: 1970s |
This Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) was one of the best examples
for a private residence
in Cambridge. Wisteria look wonderful and have a magnificent
smell, in common with many members of the pea (Leguminosae)
family. Wisteria also grow very quickly and can be difficult to
look after. This particular plant was over 20 years old in 2000,
and was maintained with the aid of the gardeners of Jesus College.
In the Spring of 2006 it did not flower very well and it was cut
down and it seems that it had been poisoned from some drain
underneath.
