A humungously tall tree in St Day's Old Church graveyard.

A humungously tall tree in St Day's Old Church graveyard.
No idea what this magnificent tree is.
I have a hunch (unrelated to what the tree is), though.
Could be totally bonkers.
But here goes.
A plant specimen collector in Victorian times, and there were many who travelled the world collecting exotic specimens / seeds, died and his relatives had no idea what to do with his seed collection. So they decided to bury his collection with him (and I can't say I blame them!). And this is the result!! Look at the displaced tombstones at the foot of this tree!
On the other hand . ... ...

A fine image with beautiful light, but I'm afraid I can't help with the tree ID.

Thank you, Füsun. Yes, it's a monster of a tree and there's nothing like it in the area as far as I know!

Well you never know Andy - you may well be right but somehow I doubt it.
As you know, I do like a good tree too. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Moral of your tale: don't leave your seeds lying around without knowing what they can produce ;-)
Just admirable in any case!

It's a great tree nevertheless Andy. I wonder if it's displaced more than just the headstones - what about those that are underneath? !!!!!!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
I think I said 'tombstones', Jenny but in any event if that seed sprung to life inside a coffin, say. it would.have upthrust everything around and the result may have been a bit messy. Even though only occuring slowly over decades I would hazard a guess!
