"Trees are like people. Trees
"Trees are like people. Trees are moody, they stress but they’re beautiful when they're happy."
Fifteen million trees were felled by the Great Storm which hit the south of England in 1987, including Turner's Oak in London's Kew Gardens.

Tony Kirkham, head of the Arboretum at Kew Gardens told Witness History about what he learned from the ancient oak. "The golden rule that I got from the storm was that you've got to copy nature and run with her and you’ll succeed."
