context_page_description: The Pwllpriddog Oak, also known as the Rhandirmwyn Oak, is a 600–700 year old tree located in farmland near Rhandirmwyn in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Recently it has served as a duck roost and a music venue. In 2018 the tree was named Welsh Tree of the Year in a public vote.
context_section_description: The Pwllpriddog Oak was entered into the Woodland Trust's Welsh Tree of the Year competition in 2014 under the name of the Rhandirmwyn Oak.  It came in third place with 20% of the public vote – the competition was won that year by the Lonely Tree in Llanfyllin, Powys.  The oak was re-entered into the competition in 2018 which it won, receiving a £1000 grant for tree care from the People's Postcode Lottery.  A subsequent public vote was held in October 2018, in conjunction with the BBC's The One Show, to select an overall British tree of the year from the four national finalists. The winner for 2018 was England's Nellie's Tree.
