Who bought the monkey puzzle tree (araucaria araucana) to Britian, and under what circumstances?
Name the broadleaf native tree that can grow at the highest altitudes in Britian?
Where is Britian's tallest tree? What height and what species is it?
Why are deer so particually attracted to the willow tree (salix), to the extent that they are planted as "sacrifices' on the edge of commercial woodlands to protect other species?
I relly do not know anything in this region so if there are any tree people out there your help would be appreciated
