The Poem Tree
The Poem Tree was a beech tree with a poem carved into it by Joseph Tubb, located on Castle Hill at Wittenham Clumps in Oxfordshire, England. The tree, which was believed to be around 300 years old, collapsed through a combination of long-standing rot and inclement weather in July 2012.〔(Sadness as Clumps poem tree falls ''Oxford Mail'' 4 August 2012 )〕〔(Poet pens a farewell verse to famous tree by Ben Wilkinson ''Oxford Mail'' 14 August 2012 )〕 It had died in the 1990s and after that, rotted completely while standing.
The poem was carved in the 1840s. A stone, including a transcription and rubbing of the poem, was erected close to the tree in 1994 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the carving.
==Carving==
Tubb carved the 20-line poem into the tree over two weeks in the summer. Taking a ladder and a tent to the beech tree, Tubb carved the poem into the tree from memory, regularly forgetting to take the original copy with him.〔 Sources vary as to whether the carving took place in 1844 or between 1844 and 1845.〔〔
