Trees, Shrubs & Climbers - Local Quiz

[Jaccat]

Hi

I am really struggling with this lastest quiz which I am doing in aid of a local church and rapidly running out of time. Any help would be most appreciated.

All the answers should be a tree, shrub or climber.

1) Does it's fruit drift?

2) Slender axle

3) Would you conduct Matins or Evensong under this?

4) Well known for being ripe

5) Seen flying over the Capital?

6) Motor company plus eye, eye!

7) Where the foxes found rest and the bird had it's nest

8) Delight for those of no fixed abode

would 3 be holly bosh?

[MarbellaSky]

Would like to help. Do you have the numbers of letters for each answer or not?

1. Snowberry ? xx

[chairobyx16]

Would 1 be Cloudberry?

[chairobyx16]

Would 5 be London plane?

[Jaccat]

Thanks for everyone's help so far.

MarbellaSky - unfortunately the number of letters in each answer are not given, which makes it more difficult!

[chairobyx16]

Sorry Jacat , told you wrong twice! Holly should read SERVICE TREE

[MarbellaSky]

Could 2 be spindle?

[MarbellaSky]

Of course, meant, spindle tree

[MarbellaSky]

Don't suppose 8 is euphorbia? Euphoria is joy but no idea why the B!

[MarbellaSky]

Could 7 be Redwood tree. A fox is sometime known as a red. Only a wild guess with no real substance

[Jaccat]

Thanks again for your help.
Like you I'm not too sure about Euphorbia or Redwood so I'll keep working on them.

7. The foxes found rest, and the birds had their nest
In the shade of the cedar tree:
But thy couch was the sod, O thou son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.

From the hymn, "Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown...."

[chairobyx16]

Could4 be after the old song "cherry ripe?

[chairobyx16]

Probably Travellers Joy, a climber

[Jaccat]

Thanks for your help Kettledrum - I wouldn't have got this on my own. We thought it must be from a hymm or poem, but we didn't know it and google didn't help!

chairobyx16 - thanks for those final two answers. Cherry Tree actually came to me late last night - suddenly thought of the simile "As ripe as a cherry". Would never have got Travellers Joy though.

Thanks again for everyone's help. I can now get the answers in the post!
