"A public consultation on a national tree for Scotland is to be launched.

Over the next three months the public will have the opportunity to say whether they would like a designated tree and if so, which species.

The idea for a national tree was raised at the Scottish Parliament's public petitions committee earlier this year by a member of the public." (From The BBC)
