Lets do it.

 

Ditto that! Barnes has been tried by a few I think, never with much success from what I've heard

Yea ive heard a few people have had a go at the one in barnes.. I think they got in a bit of trouble! Saying that though, to my knowledge its never had any measurements taken. It's certainly the most massive plane tree I've ever seen Not sure who you would have to get in touch with to ask permission.. I don't think its part of london wetland centre but its close to there.

I think the planes in blandford are the tallest in the country. Possibly the tallest broadleaves in the country also. I'll see if I can get evidence.

Hi Adam

 

Some time back I mentioned a large wellingtonia near to us. You said that it was no record breaker but you would like to see some picture anyway. Measure d from the ground we made just over 40m high. Sorry not the best picture as very late in the day.

Black lycra only..?

 

And yes those blandford forum planes are the tallest uk broadleaf trees. There was some coverage by the bbc on it a while ago online I think.
