Amazing Trees of the World

[18 stoner]

Found this lovely old oak a couple of years ago at Helmsley, North Yorks. Poor quality pic, but how old would you guess this to be?

My guess would be around 400

 

 

 

.

 

I think it's about 600 pete, I can remember seeing it as a sapling in a past life as a highway robber.

 

Heres dedication for you, been back to the said tree and here it is in its full glory earlier today;

 

 

Did lots of asking around, and finally found the head grounds man, a grey haired wierdy beardy sort, told me he planted it as a two year old sapling back in 1417.

 

So by my reconing it must be around 594 years old:001_tongue:

I was never a fan of Maccy's until we visited Monterey Bay, California.

Certainly was a strange old fella, used to do a bit of coppicing for him back in the 1500's
