Tree of the Month - May
It's rare for a new champion to be found for any of our native trees, but this 18.4m Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) in private woodland at Alresford in Essex, reported by John Boulton and measured by David Alderman this May, takes over as comfortably the tallest recorded example.
