An old red at the top of a bank with a heavy lean and as can be seen it's very hollow, holding it's own-just about.

Was known as the gypsy tree in some places due to its abundance of fruit & use to nomadic people.

 

The leafs are best eaten early & the berrys in an infusion are ment to be benifitial to heart probs such as angina.
