Baobab planes are London plane trees with a massive trunk, believed to be a result of a virus infection.
On our visit to Canterbury, we noticed two of these trees. The first is behind the east end of the cathedral – two views above.
The next is in the middle of a lawn in Westgate Park.
It turns out these are the most easily spotted of five such trees which were planted by a Victorian nurseryman, their locations forming a cross according to some websites.
One of these trees is also portrayed in a big mural painted under one of the bridges crossing Westgate Park. The photo just shows what I thought was the most interesting panel of the mural.
