This Malus Golden Hornet (Flowering Crab Apple Tree) can be found in the Quad outside the Mason Lounge in the Art Faculty building and the School of Mathematics (Watson Building).
The royal horticultural society describes the Golden Hornet as 'a small deciduous tree with a broad ovoid crown and white flowers followed by a profuse crop of bright, deep yellow fruits 2.5cm in length which persist well into winter.' (

planted in loving memory of

The video was made in 1995 and depicts Mason Lounge very much as it was when I was an undergraduate in the late 1970's.
