Kent County Cricket Club part in the competition again in 2018. Kent's main ground is the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury. This ground has been used by the club since 1847 and Kent have played over 500 first-class matches at the ground. It is famous for having a tree, the St Lawrence Lime, on the playing field. The original tree, around which the ground was built, was broken in two by high winds in January 2005 and replaced by a smaller replacement lime tree later in the same year. The ground hosts the annual Canterbury Cricket Week, the oldest cricket festival in the world.
The Lawrence Tree painted the tree. The perspective was captured by lying down on the bench and looking into the night sky through the branches of the tree. Because of the perspective, it could be hung different ways. It is displayed upside down on the website for the Wadsworth Atheneum, who owns the painting. The Lawrence Tree The Lawrence Tree is a painting by Georgia O'Keeffe in 1929 of a large ponderosa pine tree on the D. H. Lawrence Ranch in Taos County, New Mexico. The tree still survives (as of 2016), and may be visited at the Lawrence Ranch. D. H. Lawrence
