| Notes: | Label source: Planted at Wallinton, in Northumberland between 1735 and 1740. The concentric rings of the wood have a remarkable eccentricity of growth (owing to gravitation) See Gardeners Chronicle, March 13th, 1875, Page 338. This tree was blown down, 25th Jan, 1875, and I received this section from Sir WC Trevelyan, Bart. 1877. Age about 100 years. | ||||
