Champion Trees around the Uk

[David Humphries]

Would be nice for the members to have a chance to see what you've seen in and around our fair shores.

 

To kick off, not the biggest, widest or most venerable, but tis a champ no less.

 

Crataegus punctata at Hampstead Heath, North london.

 

 

Location & plaques, are most certainly de rigueur

Is this for proper champs, or just old and bueatifull vets?

[Frank]

Yeah is it for genuine champs?

 

I saw an amazing ash yesterday. Old stump, regenerated. Absolute amazing piece of natures own miracle. Will whizz back and photograph soon as poss.
