There are 33 trees that are identified and defined as "British Native Trees". The accepted definition of "British Native Tree" is based on those trees that are believed to have colonised the British Isles after the last ice age, and before it was cut off from Europe by rising sea levels (naturally occurring global warming). Below are listed the native trees via both their common English names and botanical names (Latin): Identified native trees of Euxton are hot linked to tree details page by common name, whilst trees not native to Euxton, are hot linked by Botanical names.

	It is believed that the ice covered almost the whole of the land of the British Isles and so the region was completely barren. The only species that may have survived being Arbutus Unedo (Strawberry Tree) a native of southern Ireland. As the ice retreated the land was colonised initially by species such as Birch and Scots Pine with the last arrivals being species such as Beech and Hornbeam. We may visualise the trees and other plants migrating northwards as the climate improved. Once the English Channel was formed this migration ceased, leaving the 33 native trees. This migration continued within the British Isles with the result that Scots Pine which probably was found all over Britain can be said to now have a habitat in parts of Scotland only.
