Dapple

Many trees have through their isolation, appearance or position been chosen as popular meeting places for young courting couples, soldiers called to gather at a distinctive venue prior to battle, etc. Many a romantic story features trysting trees, including the tales of Robin Hood and his merry men. In the 1845 version of the story, Maid Marion and Robin Hood are buried together under their 'Trysting Tree.'

And named a trysting day,
And bade his messengers ride forth
East and west and south and north,
To summon his array.

--A poem by Macaulay.
