Presented in a beautiful quarter-bound hardback format and aimed at
a general audience, this engaging book presents a selection of
remarkable trees in the care of the National Trust. Throughout
human history, trees have occupied a role that is central to our
existence - providing timber to build our homes, fuel to heat them,
fruit to sustain us, shelter from a downpour and shade on a sunny
day. Vital to our wellbeing, they impress us with their size,
enchant us with their ever-changing colours and have provided
inspiration for artists down the centuries. This celebration of
trees at National Trust places presents a carefully chosen
selection of 50 fascinating examples. Alongside 'named' witnesses
to history, such as the Tolpuddle Martyrs' Sycamore and Sir Isaac
Newton's Apple Tree at Woolsthorpe Manor, are fine examples of
their type that deserve to be better known, such as the Douglas
Firs at Cragside and the Black Mulberry at Chastleton House. Each
featured tree is accompanied by a wealth of glorious images and a
short, informative, easy-to-read text. The book opens with an
illuminating introduction and concludes with a glossary of terms
and a gazetteer of National Trust places where particularly notable
trees can be found.
