The Suffragette Oak

The Suffragette Oak is a Hungarian oak tree ("Quercus frainetto") in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow, Scotland. It was named Scotland's Tree of the Year in 2015.
History.
The tree was planted in Kelvingrove Park by Louisa Lumsden on behalf of suffrage organisations on 20 April 1918 to commemorate the right to vote being granted to some women in February 1918.
The Sunday Post reported on the event as follows:
On International Women’s Day in 1995, the Women’s Committee of Glasgow City Council erected a plaque next beside the tree which reads, ‘This oak tree was planted by Women’s Suffrage Organisations in Glasgow on 20 April 1918 to commemorate the granting of votes to women.'
In October 2017 the tree lost around 30 per cent of its canopy during Storm Ophelia and suffered a large tear to its trunk. To save the tree and protect the public, Glasgow City Council had to reduce its height and rebalance the canopy. The off-cuts were gifted to the Glasgow Women's Library to create items for sale that celebrate the efforts of the suffragettes.
Awards.
In 2015 the tree was named Scotland's Tree of the Year by the Woodland Trust after being nominated by Glasgow Women's Library. The award was presented to representatives from the Glasgow Women's Library at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on 27 October 2015.
The Woodland Trust nominated the Suffragette Oak for the 2016 European Tree of the Year award.
