Where it is

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 lime.
- It's 3.7 m round the trunk. That's the easiest check there is.
- It's a pollard: cut back at about head height long ago, so look for a thick trunk ending in a knuckle, with branches all growing out of that one level.
- Only part of it is still standing, so look for a shell or a broken trunk rather than a whole tree.
- People round here may know it as Twelve Apostles Lime - 1, and there's sometimes a sign.
- 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.
