There are a number of ancient trees on the estate. One of the oldest is probably the Cedar of Lebonan in the garden of the present no. 17 which is estimated as 250 years old. The row of Sweet Chestnut trees alongside the track south of Samsons Wood are also estimated to be similar in age. This suggests that they were planted at about the time of the establishment of the original estate in the 1760's.
The prominent row of Poplars at the far side of the meadow South of the mansion were planted by Ottershaw school in 1962.
A row of ten English Oaks were planted acroos the meadow south of the Mansion to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.
There are some fine specimens of Wellingtonia in the grounds of Pantiles and near the North Lodges in Ottershaw Chase. Wellingtonia was introduced to England in 1858 and it is likely that these were planted soon after as they became very popular with nurserymen. One such was Mr Fletcher who lived in Coach Road just beyond the North Lodges.
