A tree may be a village’s oldest inhabitant, a founding figure in a region’s identity or a natural monument integral to a nation’s story. It can also be a much-loved local landmark, a place to play and exercise, a gardener’s pride and joy or a space for communities to gather. Young or old, tall or small, fat or thin, our national contest celebrates these special trees across the nations.

Now is your chance to vote for your favourite trees in England, Scotland, and Wales as we reveal the shortlists in our Tree of the Year contest.



Once we have a winning tree from each country’s public vote, a panel of experts will select one of the three trees to go forward to represent the UK in the European Tree of the Year competition.

Click on the links below to view the shortlisted trees for England, Scotland and Wales. You can vote for one tree in each country.

By voting for your tree of the year, you will also be entered into our Tree of the Year prize draw – the winner will receive a £100 voucher thanks to our partner Joules, to use in any of their stores or online.



Voting is open until noon on 24 September.
