Every year, the Woodland Trust runs a competition to find the Tree of the Year in the UK. Trees are nominated for their age or importance, in some cases their historical importance, in others because they have been threatened with destruction and the local community has rallied round them. The winner will represent the UK in the European Tree of the Year competition!
Voting is open until Sunday 15 October, and this year's winner will be announced on Thursday 19 October 2023.

Oh my! The roots of that tree! I agree -- trees are wonderful and it always hurts when I see one downed, especially because it is neither ill or damaged but because someone just doesn't want it anymore. The UK does a much better job preserving trees than I think the US does -- or at least my state.
Surrey Yew Tree looks outstanding!
...yews can get ;arge here, but we rarely think of them as trees!
I adore trees. One of the bloggers I follow puts up a post celebrating them (around the world) every Thursday. I delight and marvel in them every week.
Wow that is amazing!!!
The more I learn about trees, the more amazing they become. I remember when you posted that yew tree. Those roots are amazing!

Thanks for sharing Juliet's blog. Take care, enjoy your day!
I memorized TREES by Joyce Kilmer when I was in third grade. Reading the poem always provided me with a peaceful feeling. I do love trees and decry their destruction. I read this poem to my children when they were small.
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Very well written
Trees are not appreciated enough here. I'd love to see one planted whenever we lose one for some reason.
that is such a neat idea, when we go on vacation I take a lot of pictures of trees that are a little different or are showing a lot of roots or are growing a strange way :)
An amazing looking tree, thanks for sharing.
I love trees and that one is wonderful.
