SPECIAL TREES 
Within the College grounds there are some 
exceptional trees, most on account of their girths 
(and/or ages) for the species in question; but one of 
them is also interesting for its historical and 
cultural associations. I have included here three 
trees from two private gardens adjacent to College 
boundaries. Unless stated otherwise, girths are 
measured at Sft (1.5 metres) from ground level. 
Salicaceae 
A Crack Willow pollard overhanging the River 
Kennet has equal (British) champion status with a 
Malmesbury tree, with a girth of over 480 cms. 
Unfortunately this tree is senescent and broken 
with few healthy shoots, and may soon die. The 
second largest Crack Willow (also a pollard) is near 
the Science Block, and has a girth of 340 cm. Much 
more impressive is the vigorous and healthy ‘Great 
White Willow’ in the south-westernmost water
