Numerous species of native British tree are still common and can be found growing throughout the country, still sometimes standing strong and proud after hundreds of years. Although a number of our more iconic species did once arrive from different parts of Europe, they have integrated seamlessly into their varying habitats but it can often be tricky to identify different species.
