• Here is a list of the "Tree/s of the Year" for 2001 up to 2015. I have recently "discovered" that there are 2 different trees nominated each year. The first one is a "common" tree whilst the second one is a more specialised tree. The latter might be a tree, which is difficult to propagate, or is a threatened specie or it might be a tree which requires specific growing conditions.
