Hunting for UK Gems

[Dan Curtis]

David, with regards to the girth measurements, are they all done on circumference or diameter? Looked at the Preston twins, touted as the largest elms in Europe, though in the table there are two others, getting on for twice the size?

Haaa! I do:blushing:

 

I think I have a contender for tillia x europaea the last time I measured it was ten year ago at 110ft we will see this Saturday

Oh and only one on there from Lincolnshire???? That's going to change

Do you know the beech at Canwick, one hell of a tree, both in girth and height. It's on private land but you can see it from the road. Climbed it a few times, and could probably get permission to go again
