This is "Woody" a London #planetree that lives in a corner of tiny churchyard at Wood Street, Cheapside, having survived fires and bombings. Woody could be the oldest living tree in London, but of debatable age. I recently visited Woody during the unmissable #UrbanTreeFestival 🌳💚

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday!
This distinguished churchyard yew 🌳 lives in #Otford, Kent. Its trunk cavity is filled with cement as it was a common practice in the past but no longer recommended by contemporary arborists 💚
