Not quite what the page is about, but it’s such a good example I couldn’t not put this here!
A proper tree in Lisbon.

A small tree in Zagreb.
I’ve got a backlog as haven’t update since Covid, but to start things off, here’s a small tree in Zagreb, Croatia.
This is in New York
Tree and/or bush on Mojo, Manchester
Mojo is a bar/club near to the burgeoning Spinningfields area in Manchester. It sits on the same block as the excellent Mulligans where live music is often enjoyed late on a Friday night and the Guinness tastes just that bit better than that served in neighbouring bars.
I have only been into Mojo once and all I remember is that the barman was very keen on me buying a Mohito cocktail.
Now, I am a man that enjoys a cocktail (espresso maritini being my current favourite), but the main ingredient of a Mohito really doesn’t agree with me, so I forever associate this place with a cocktail I really don’t like.
Nevertheless, here is a tree/bush growing atop the place. Taken by my most excellent partner in work and personal life, Kellie.
Thank you for the picture!
Penrith Castle greenery
A big thank you to my excellent ex colleague, Chloe W; she kindly provided this lovely picture of nature slowly taking back the ruins of Penrith Castle.
Despite having visited this area hundreds of times, I haven’t ever been here so this was particularly nice to see.
Thanks, Chloe!
Tiny tree peeping out of a building in Manchester
Courtesy of the estimable Wendy M; a great picture of a building in Manchester.
This is a bit unusual, because it’s clearly a well maintained building yet the little plant is making a go of it, despite the odds being firmly stacked against it. A lesson if there ever was one 🙂
Thanks, Wendy!
Abandoned mill in Delph, Oldham, near Manchester
For the purists out there, this is actually in the West Riding of Yorkshire, but that’s for another day.
This is the abandoned Bailey Mill in Delph, most of which was recently lost in an enormous fire.
Anyway, I do have pictures of the not there any more bit but took them about 12 months ago so thought I’d put this one here. I think they are going to build flats or houses or something here so it won’t be around for much longer.
Amsterdam building tree
This wonderful example was caught by my ex colleague and generally awesome individual, James Wetherall, owner, director and big cheese of the excellent Wetherall’s.
I’m not sure where it was taken in Amsterdam and I have a sneaking suspicion it is meant to be there, but it is such a good tree I couldn’t pass the opportunity by to post it.
Thanks James!
Bushes/trees growing next to a beautiful mural in Manchester, UK
There are a few of these murals in Manchester and I think they really cheer the place up. Many of the buildings here are great examples of 19th century architecture. This area, incidentally, is often used for filming – the latest example being Captain America

A submission from a friend of a friend of a friend
News of the Trees on Buildings network grows far and wide and, in evidence of this, here is a submission from a friend of a friend of a friend! I’m not sure where it was taken but thank you to Neil!
