Need help on trees at Place Rogier, Brussels http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/europe-holland-belgium/threads/48971 rst Hi, I am revising my novel, a subplot is located in Brussels. Maybe someone of you is located in Brussels and can help me out? My character stays in a hotel at Place Rogier and I would like to mention the kinds of trees that are planted at Place Rogier to characterize my main character (he is profound in Botany). I have stayed at Place Rogier a couple of times but haven't thought much about it then :( I guess it's either young plane trees or maple trees.

Nice to know that someone is locating parts of their novel in Brussels. :) Even though I live closeby, I don't really know myself (I have never really been good at identifying trees), but I think it is rather plane trees instead of maple. I hope I helped out!

Many thanks! You rock. Honestly: I was skeptical if I even get a reply back to my rather specific post :) So plane trees it shall be :). best, rst Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:09:19 +0000 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/europe-holland-belgium/threads/48971?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1058919 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/europe-holland-belgium/threads/48971?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1058919
