Because the photo was taken in winter the difference between the evergreen fir and the deciduous larch is very obvious. The almost perfect shape of these two trees suggests that they have been free-standing for most if not all their lives. If they had been close-planted (as have the majority of conifers in Wendover Woods) they would have lost their lower branches. Same tree 10 years later Image
