For #ThickTrunkTuesday this week, I want to share an image of a very special tree in Hainault Forest.
This ancient hornbeam is very much in the latter stages of its life. It has shed much of its crown, but still grows a healthy canopy.
Much of the trunk has hollowed and it's a haven for all sorts of insect life while its rotting remains now enrich the surrounding soils. It's believed to be at least 350-400 years old.
