Banksy confirms return with new tree mural in north London

A new tree mural painted in north London has been confirmed to have been created by Banksy.

The artwork, on the side of a building on Hornsey Road in Finsbury Park, features shades of green painted behind a cut-back tree with a stencil of a person holding a pressure hose to the side.

It appeared on Sunday, 17 March.

Banksy usually claims responsibility for art by posting on his social media pages.

He uploaded an image of the tree to his Instagram profile, showing the scene before the green paint was applied to the wall.
