Veteran Trees in Winter

Winter is a great time to appreciate the many different forms our trees can have.

Hidden on a riverbank in a birch wood, this old sycamore is a survivor from a earlier Policy planting. The A4 clip board in the photo gives you an idea of the size.


The trees multi-stemmed form, a result of past coppicing, casts wonderful shadows in the low winter light.
