Steven Falks says: "This very ancient–looking specimen outside the Broom Hall Inn, Broom village has what looks like a single solid base of 7.68m/2007 that gives rise to several large stems. With such a growth form it is very difficult to gauge whether it is an eighteenth century, or perhaps even a late seventeenth century specimen with a single ancient rootstock, or an early Victorian batch-planted group fused into a single base."
