Crown

Photograph of a tree on the east side of the York Bridge, at Regents Park. Note the lean on the tree, over the water. The crown is very similar to that of the 'London Form', but the tree can usually be distinguished in winter by its bark.

Tree trunk

Photograph of the trunk of the tree shown in the above photograph. The lesser peeling of the bark (compared with the London Form) can be seen by comparing the trunk with that of its primary branches, at the top of the photograph.
