Ankerwyke

February 1999 Tim Hills: A well documented tree. Growing both internally and externally. It is one of ’50 Great British Trees’ chosen to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee year. I recorded a girth of 25′ 10” (788cm) at the ground.
June 2007 – Dave Kenny: Girth of 7.90 at the ground and 7.98 at 30 cm.
October 2008 – Chris Knapman: It has a branch rooted in two places on one side of the pricipal tree that is throwing out a new tree, while still connected to its parent- a walking Yew. Inner structure superb, aerial roots with bark, forming new stems in an intricate network- a woody waterfall! A tree within a tree but interconnected without real boundaries.
June 2013 – Peter Norton: Suggestions that a boardwalk and even a fence might be constructed to reduce/negate root compaction, would leave the tree looking very different in the future. Girth of 26′ 0” (792cm) at the ground recorded.
