Bendy elm named UK Tree of the Year
The Bendy Tree in Newcastle, County Down, has been named the UK's Tree of the Year for 2026, praised for its resilience against Dutch elm disease. This 150-year-old wych elm, which has grown sideways due to strong seaside winds, is the last remaining tree from a row originally planted in the 19th century. Its unusual shape symbolizes endurance and has become a valued community landmark in Northern Ireland.
