WALNUT AT CAM-YR-ALYN PARK 



The magnificent Walnut tree here represented was unknown to us when Vol. II. 

 was published in 1907. We are indebted to Mr. F. R. S. Balfour for its discovery, 

 and to Mr. G. Cromar for the following particulars : — The tree stands in Cam-yr-Alyn 

 Park, Denbighshire, the property of Wilson Sweetenham, Esq., and in 1910, when 

 the photograph was taken by Mr. W. P. Wilkes, was about 70 ft. high, and 32^ ft. 

 in girth. It has five main branches, which measure as follows : 9 ft. 4 in., 10 ft. 3 in., 

 12\ ft., 9 ft., and i\\ ft. respectively, and cover an area of 88 ft. by 80 ft. The tree 

 is healthy, and grows on a light loam and gravelly soil, at an elevation of about 

 100 feet above sea-level. The water in this district is full of lime, and there is 

 a stream about 15 yards from the tree.
