An ancient oak in West Sussex is among 12 trees shortlisted for the annual Tree of the Year.
The Queen Elizabeth Oak, on the Cowdray Estate, in Midhurst, is among a dozen trees selected by a panel of experts from the Woodland Trust charity.
Dr Kate Lewthwaite, citizen science manager at the trust, said the contenders had been chosen "because the history and the story around them was amazing". "It's actually quite short but has...a nearly 14-metre girth on it," he told BBC Radio Sussex, adding that the nomination was "really special".Mr McDonald said it had "basically survived so long because it's been pollarded over the last 1,000 years".
