Storm damage to Bowthorpe OakOne of the
greatest British trees the Bowthorpe Oak in Lincolnshire, lost one of its
major limbs during the storm of Sunday 26th October. Some 25% of its crown
was lost as violent gusts struck the tree and tore the limb to the ground,
causing other parts to collapse into its hollow centre.
Owners of the land Mr and Mrs Blanchard were distraught when they saw the
damage and expert advice is being sought to help preserve one of our most
famous veteran trees.
