shewhomustThe Woodland Trust has announced its Tree of the Year 2021, an extremely windswept hawthorn "on a windswept cockleshell beach" in Dalbeattie (actually in the car park, which doesn't sound as good).
Good luck, tree!
The winning hawthorn tree will now go on to represent the UK in the European Tree of the Year 2022 contest.
Good luck, tree!

I did not know that trees had international contests. But why shouldn't they? They deserve some attention too! So long as we don't put them on pedestals to objectify them -- that would be terrible for their roots.
