It will only stand up to a few inches high. However, this birch sapling is also the country's tallest tree by a certain measure. The tiny specimen grew to nearly 4,000 feet above Ben Nevis, making it the UK's highest-altitude tree, according to scientists. Ellie Corsie, a neologist, discovered the lonely birch in the middle of a 3,953ft (1,205 million) peak of the country's highest mountain, the lonely birch.
