Today's #ThickTrunkTuesday will be on the #HolmOak (Quercus Ilex)
I absolutely love the Holm Oaks in my neighbourhood here in #Eastbourne. It took me a while to notice them when we first moved, only slowly realising that these magnificent, beautiful trees were all the same species. I learned through asking on a local Facebook group that they were holm oaks, which were first brought to the UK in the late 1500s, and became a popular seaside tree from the 1800s. 1/x
