Cubbington Pear Tree, Historical pear tree in Cubbington, England.

The Cubbington Pear Tree measured 3.78 meters in girth and stood as the second largest wild pear tree in the United Kingdom.

The tree grew for more than 250 years near South Cubbington Wood until its removal in October 2020 due to the High Speed 2 railway construction.

Local residents conducted group walks to observe the tree's spring blossoms, marking it as a central element of community gatherings and traditions.

Parts of the wood were given to local craftsmen while the stump was relocated, with new shoots emerging from the transplanted base in 2023.

The tree received over 10,000 votes to win England's Tree of the Year award in 2015 and placed eighth in the European competition.
