Place Name
A relatively new development built as part of works by the Waltham Forest Housing Action Trust between 1995 – 2001 on the site of Oliver Close Council estate. The roads on the estate were named after trees, there is also Magnolia Close, Larch Road and Walnut Road – and Osier Way and Palm Close adjacent. The genus is named after the royal French gardeners Jean Robin and his son Vespasien Robin, who introduced the plant to Europe from North America in 1601.
