This tree's story
The tree is on the edge of a nature reserve with meadow to the north-east and woodland to the south.The tree is slightly twisted anti-clockwise when viewed from above. There is a wet hollow in the trunk at about 1.2m with a tall triangular shape about 30cm high 12cm wide at base. The trunk forks at about 2.5m with several branches from each upright above this level and branches fused into the other trunk where they cross. There is most outward growth to the north where there is most light. A thick Ivy stem has been cut through close to ground level in the past but new Ivy stems are rooted and growing up the trunk to some height.
