Original Bramley Apple Tree Facing its end [UK]
The original Bramley apple tree - planted more than 200 years ago and the "mother" of all modern Bramley apples - is dying from a fungal infection.
The tree was sown by a girl called Mary Ann Brailsford in 1809 in the Nottinghamshire town of Southwell.
It has been neglected since the death of owner Nancy Harrison almost two years ago.
