Information bottom right of the sculpture reads:

'The Tree by Rosie Fierek. Erected 2007.'

Commissioned by Tavistock Market Charter Group in 2005 to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the granting of the Royal Market Charter in 1105 by Henry I.

The history of Tavistock grows up the trunk beginning at the roots with the founding of the abbey. The fruits represent aspects of Tavistock today as seen through the eyes of local children. The colours are mostly achieved with the use of minerals traditionally mined locally. 2005 was also the 700th anniversary of Tavistock becoming a stannary town.'

Below this text are example colours of tin, copper and manganese.
