Is this tree significant?

    We live in a rural area and our garden is bordered by an very old stone wall that marks the boundary of two townlands. In one of the walls, growing through the rocks is a single hawthorn tree. I'm wondering would this be considered as a "fairy tree"? I'm sort of on the fence about these things but would be interested to know what you all think.

    Id say its a tree that has been protected by the walls and hasnt been cut down because you cant do anything in between two walls. Give me a picture of the walls and a location and ill give you a date. What happens is the "seeds" blow in and the tree grows in the protected area.

    The boundary between two properties was marked by a hawthorn (may) tree in gaidhlig tradition.
    This could be a seedling of a tree from earlier times, or just a random happening.
