Tree of the Year 2022<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A tree may be a village\u2019s oldest inhabitant, a founding figure in a region\u2019s identity or a natural monument integral to a nation\u2019s story. It can also be a much-loved local landmark, a place to play and exercise, a gardener\u2019s pride and joy or a space for communities to gather.<\/p>\n

Approximate age:\u00a0<\/strong>estimated to be over 150 years old.<\/p>\n

This remarkable tree grows in the landscaped grounds of Mavisbank House, one of Scotland\u2019s most important historic houses from the 1700s. This ancient rowan has a huge girth and extensive decay.<\/p>\n

This striking tree has bent over to form a full archway which now has growth sprouting from its top. Rowans feature heavily in folklore and although it\u2019s not known if this tree was deliberately trained into this shape or formed naturally, it\u2019s easy to imagine it being a portal to another world!<\/p>\n

We have lots of interesting trees around Kilmarnock-<\/p>\n
