A resilient elm in Newcastle, Northern Ireland, has been named UK Tree of the Year. Known as the Bendy Elm, the tree survived despite disease and harsh conditions that killed most of its kind, earning the title in a contest celebrating the country's most remarkable trees. The award has drawn attention to conservation efforts and the role of veteran trees in Britain and Ireland's landscapes.
Why now: The annual UK Tree of the Year award was announced, drawing attention to this unusually resilient tree.
