Tree hunting : 1,000 trees to find in Britain and Ireland's towns and cities

Wood, Paul (Writer on trees)2025
Books
The Beer Belly. The Climber's Lime. The Ecclesiastical Pear. In 'Tree Hunting', Paul Wood seeks out the best individual trees - the most charismatic, quirky or downright spectacular - that grow in Britain and Ireland's towns, cities and villages (and, in one case, from the crack in a church steeple). From a stumpy sycamore in Shetland, contorted by wind and hard weather, to the shining jewel in Brighton's unlikely treasure trove of elms, Paul travels on a quest from north to south rooting out the legends and tall tales behind these marvellous specimens.
