This tree was declared a ‘Great British Tree’ by the Tree Council in June 2002 to celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. In 2006 it was declared one of the 50 Favourite Trees in EFDC. Nominated by my friend Alan. Alan Burgess nominated this tree because: “This tree is a real treasure. We first realised it was unusual when it shed a limb one winter. With the support of the landowner and Countrycare we were able to get it pruned to save it. Our original tree has been declared a ‘Great British Tree’. We feel honoured to be in the company of the ‘Robin Hood’ Oak of Sherwood Forest.”
