Capon Oak Tree
The Capon Oak Tree is one of the last surviving trees of the ancient Jedforest, close to Jedwater, a small river which has cut a course below soft sandstone cliffs.
It is located 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Jedburgh, Scotland, west of the A68. The Capon Tree is held together with concrete, bricks and timber beams supporting its trunk and branches due to a massive split down the middle of the trunk. The tree continues to grow.
Trees are being replanted in the Borders to establish a renewal of the ancient 'Caledon Wood,' or great northern forest, which included Ettrick Forest and Jedforest.
