Seems like the right thread for this beast I glimpsed today...

A not too shabby 7.5m girth at the narrowest point above the root flare, and a crown spread of about 23m!

The pics really don't do it justice, lots cavities and old wounds, and obviously hollow under those roots/butt. Home to all manner of beasties lucky kids with that outside their primary school!

Indeed! Let's hope the teachers know how to make the most of the resource they've been blessed with

We worked on the 100 guinea tree recently in The Vyne NT property. Massive tree, lots of decay. They are planning to build a structure to hold the tree up if it fails as it is leaning over tge road.

Probably not a veteran but certainly a survivor! Found this walnut at the bottom of a pub garden, next to a load of children's climbing frames.....pics of canopy didn't come out very well so not included, but it has a full crown with obviously plenty of vascular activity going on..
