UK: Derek Spicer, Kilworth Conifers, has passed away

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Derek Spicer, owner of Kilworth Conifers, passed away on March 30 from complications following surgery for oesophageal cancer. He was 77.

A long-time champion of conifers in Britain, Derek has run Leicestershire-based Kilworth Conifers with wife Carole for more than 40 years. He was a founder member and Chairman of the British Conifer Society, and author (with Aris Auders) of the two-volume RHS Encyclopedia of Conifers (2012).
