Special Trees in Tottenham

Bruce Castle Oak

Bruce Castle Park, Tottenham's first public park, is home to the oldest tree in Tottenham, after the yew trees in the grounds of the nearby All Hallow Church; an ancient sessile oak tree which is over 450 years old.

In 2009 work was undertaken on the oak tree to ensure its preservation, but in 2011 the tree suffered further damage when a large branch broke off.

The Tottenham Trees logo on the right shows the now asymmetrical silhouette of the Bruce Castle Oak along with the logo of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People.

The Principles of the Charter

In Tottenham seven trees were planted in a ring over 400 years ago for reasons lost in time; the Seven Sisters area and the underground station are named after them. The seven trees have been replanted a number of times, always by seven sisters.

The Tottenham Trees logo, shown on the right, is a silhouette of the Bruce Castle Oak with the logo of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People launched in November 2017, on the 800th anniversary of the Royal Charter of the Forest.
