By the looks of the thick set bole she was once a mighty Beech, like many of the others surrounding her. Probably back during the 'Great Storm of '87', the remains of the fallen trunk would testify to that period, she was slighted, losing her main trunk and leaving a much smaller trunk offshoot to soldier on. A born surviver, she has prevailed. Though, twisted, gnarled and missing half her bole, lost to the storm and subsequent hollowing, what remains still flourishes; the ability of nature to overcome and endure never loses its wonder.
