The 65 trees will be planted in a park to honour the poet who died in December.

Zephaniah's wife and the university where he was a professor announce plans for an event in April.

The Birmingham-born poet and writer died last December at the age of 65.

His family want to plant 65 trees in Newtown to honour the poet who died in December, aged 65.

A family spokesperson says the exhibition is "an amazing, iconic and beautiful tribute to Benjamin".

The late poet, writer and actor is set to have the main stage named after him at the upcoming event.

Portraits by Birmingham artist Pogus Caesar will feature in the outdoor city centre display.

A special tribute to the late poet will take place on 5 June at Birmingham City University.
