You are quite free to make a choice. Most people choose the splendid English Oak for three reasons.

• It will be a magnificent tree
• It will live for centuries
• People frequently see this tree have the same qualities as their loved one.

The Rowan or Mountain Ash is another favourite choice because it produces many berries each year to the benefit of wild life. We can however, plant a Cherry tree or Silver Birch instead.
