When I lived in Bournville I used to cycle along that pavement late at night (the cycle route through Canon Hill Park was either closed or too dark) and it'd always take me by surprise. After a while I knew it was coming and came to love the obstacle forcing me to weave at speed. I know this tree too.

It is cool. I'd always assumed it was a natural thing rather than being planted. I actually think it's slightly younger than the other trees - maybe only by a couple of years and that maybe the seedling came from the tree next to it. I think normally trees don't grow this close to each other because it's not good for the species but maybe this one was a freak of nature? Whatever it's cool! Let me know if you find out more.  I know this tree! It is cool. I’d always assumed it was a natural thing rather than being planted.
