Tree Idol

Everyone's heard of Pop Idol, but the Chronicle has launched a four-week contest which will leaf the others behind

Welcome to Tree Idol, where we're asking readers to nominate their favourite tree to be in the running to win £50 to spend on their garden.

All you have to do is send in a picture of that pretty silver birch you walk past every day or the majestic oak you played under as a child, along with a few comments, and we'll publish it in the paper and on the website.

To help in our search, Wyevale Garden Centres, Syon and Osterley, has kindly donated a first prize of £50 and two runners up prizes of £25 for the best tales.

Send your entries to Tree Idol, 93 Staines Road, Hounslow TW3 3JB, email newshounslow@trinitysouth.co.uk or lucyproctor@trinitysouth.co.uk or follow the send us your pics link on this site.

You can read more about Tree Idol on the main Hounslow Chronicle site.

Terms and conditions: Descriptions of your favourite tree should be between 50 and 100 words. Entrants must be willing to have their name published alongside their entry, and appear in post-publicity. Winners will be announced in the Hounslow Chronicle, on Thursday, June 19.

We'd like to hear from you.
