Bradgate has some wonderful old trees, particularly ancient Oaks where you can see how the trees have responded to fungal destruction of the heart wood by putting on extra growth on the perimeter to produce a stable structure. Branches that have fallen remain alive as long as there is some connection to the roots. The oldest trees have been strapped and supported by metal structures. Mainly the trees are still green with a few trees showing beautiful autumn hues.
