An aerial view of the Argyle Street Ash, its crown covered in green leaves. The sprawling city of Glasgow is in the background. The text reads “After being crowned UK Tree of the Year in 2025, the Argyle Street Ash will now compete in European Tree of the Year 2026.”
A black-and-white photo of a tram on a cobbled street. The Argyle Street Ash stands prominently in the middle of the scene, while overhead trolley wires are visible. The text reads “At over 170 years old, it lives in the hearts of Glaswegians and is part of the city’s emotional architecture.”
A view directly above the Argyle Street Ash, looking down on its crown covered in green leaves. The text reads “Its status as an urban tree makes it extra special. From improving wellbeing to cleaning our air, urban trees have plenty of tricks up their sleeves.”
