Well, that's the whole point.

I thought you were going to say that in the UK, you can't just chop down a tree on your land - there are often legal barriers preventing the felling of listed trees!

Being listed would seem to imply a tree was specifically selected by a town for historical or aesthetic qualities. They would seem to be on conservation or public land most of the time, no?

It varies by region. In some places any tree with a trunk radius > 4" is listed automatically, for example.
