This photos are of a huge ruber tree in Sicilie, its one tree only it really is a monster! As far as I know its a South American tree, but the size of it would make one think that its 500+ but it cant cause we still didnt croos the atlantic then! I dont really know my history that good but it might have been brought over in the time the spanish and portuguese were in south america, maybe!

The 'Arbor del Tule' (the Tule Tree). A Montezuma cypress (Taxodium mucronatum)

I'm glad you've but a pic of a British tree up. These two amaze me at the local level, because they're unusually big for the species:

 

The first two are a parkland sycamore, the third one is a fairly well known crab apple in Bradfield woods.

At over 2000 years old, El Arbol del Tule, is amongst the oldest living trees in the world. With a 10 meter (33 feet) diameter trunk it is also considered by many to be the broadest tree in the world. The circumference of the trunk is an amazing 54 meters (178 feet) It is over 40 meters (130 feet) high, boasts a foliage diameter of over 51 meters (170 feet), and weighs over 500 tons.
