Sylvester Silver Birch

This is our front garden tree. His name is Sylvester. He was a gift from my now sister-in-law, a Christmas present for the year Mr H and I became engaged.

The thing about Sylvester is that he was brought from Scotland to England in the back of the little car that we had them. We dove down with him in the car and it was like driving in a bush. (It was of course perfectly safe)! He was then a sapling. He's a lot bigger now. He has beautiful white bark, as you can see and he is so big he almost touches the telephone wires.
