Take me thereI'm here, add itPhotograph it, say why it's worth seeing, and it goes on the map as a Cool Tree, found by you. Anybody can add to it after that.
Where it is
Show on the mapKexbrough, England
The position comes from a survey, so expect to be within a few metres rather than standing at the trunk.
Is this the one?
What to check when you get there.
- It should be a common ash.
- It's 8.3 m round the trunk, about 6 people holding hands round it. That's the easiest check there is.
- It's a maiden: one trunk, never cut back, so look for a single tall stem.
- Only part of it is still standing, so look for a shell or a broken trunk rather than a whole tree.
- The position came from a surveyor, so it can be a few metres out. If two big trees are close together, the girth usually settles it.
