In 2002 the Tree Council celebrated the Queen's Golden Jubilee by selecting 50 Great British Trees..........old news now.

 

To my shame I've only visited 8 of them so far :001_rolleyes:

 

The Lime Tree in Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire

The Cage Pollard in Burnham Beeches, Buckinghamshire

The Ankerwycke Yew in Wraysbury, Berkshire (three weeks ago :blushing:)

'The Old Lion' Ginkgo in Kew Gardens, Richmond, London

Britain's first Dawn Redwood in Cambridge University Botanic Garden

Britain's first London Plane in Ely, Cambridgeshire

The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire

The Fortingall Yew, in Perth and Kinross

 

 

Here's the list.......WebCite query result

Sadly some are no longer here. Well one; Pontfadog oak and maybe some others.

 

Not technically true, there's been a succesful attempt at grafting material from the Pontfadog oak on to root stock at Kew and Windsor I believe so it kinda lives on..

 

A pity the oportunity to prop the tree didn't occur.

 

 

but I get ya point
