A Survivor of the Great Storm of 1987 Knole Park Kent
A Survivor of the Great Storm of 1987 Knole Park Kent
This unusually shaped beech tree (Fagus sylvatica) is in Knole Park, Sevenoaks, Kent. The main trunk broke off during the Great Storm of October 1987 which blew over, damaged or destroyed thousands of trees in southern England. The Sevenoaks area was particularly affected, the town also lost 6 of the 7 oaks for which it is named. Autumnal bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) always adds some glorious colour to autumn and winter landscapes!
