I’ve realised it’s been ages since I’ve posted a tree… so here’s a rather lovely Lime! Hollow as you like, 4 maybe 5 structural units there. It was fairly recently pollarded by MArborA, Veteran Tree Specialist Practitioner to conserve the old fella and it’s one of my absolute faves. Top notch ancient lime. Sometimes locally referred to as the Gibbons Lime. Might be ready for a protective basket too - my volunteers do a splendidly tidy dead hedge to create root protection areas, which we’ve done on other trees in the Park using coppiced material.

Enjoy 🌳 💚 🍋‍🟩

Had a good morning volunteering for the Ancient Tree Forum (Ancient Tree Forum) last weekend. Showing some lovely people some lovely trees, and a bit on the history and wildlife conservation work at Petworth Park (Petworth House & Park). Always enjoy leading a guided walk on my patch 🌳

Always on the lookout for my next favourite tree and this one’s up there… What a beauty. Sitting at the bottom of Lawn Hill not far from Lower Pond. Just gotta think of a name for it… 🌳 Running a walk this summer for the Ancient Tree Forum (more details soon) to see more trees like this and I’m wondering if we’ll make it to this one 🤔

Repurposing a redundant old ceramic water trough from the Paddocks in the Park and installing it into the Garden. Both the Park’s volunteer teams involved as the Ranger team got it ready for extraction and the Builders carried out some repairs in the workshop and then installed it in the Garden. Over the the Gardeners to turn it into a wildlife pond and plant it up with native aquatic plants! Great work team! 💧 💧 💧
