Available straight 15m 220yr Old English Oak Tree

[mb2lecom]

I have a straight trunk 15m oak tree within my compound that has been approximated to be around 220yrs old.

 

The tree is being felled (approved by the council) due to a combination of many factors.

 

I feel it will be a shame for a straight trunk English oak tree to have been around since approximately 1794 and be taken to the tip after being felled.

 

I was wondering if someone here will be interested in the tree. See the 2 pictures of the tree attached. The oak tree is located in Peterborough UK.

 

Thanks.

Where abouts in Peterborough?

Too far away from me but good on you for putting it on here.

Great to see trees like this getting used

@Shendy: The tree is in Bretton in Peterborough.

 

@bobh: Thanks. Based on how straight the tree trunk is, its size and age I really feel the tree deserves to be put to better use than left to rot away in a tip somewhere.

 

Hopefully someone will be interested in making good use of this tree.

Thanks for posting - just to be clear are you looking to be paid for the tree?

 

 

Or just happy to have it go to some good use? ie. free to collector/miller.

I'd be happy to collect that, I'm only a little north from you.

I'd mill it so could give you back some planks or I could fashion you some rustic garden furniture or such.

Nice tree, I'd be interested but can only offer to mill on site no means of transporting such a lump.

[mb2lecom]

I'd rather have it collected and milled elsewhere.

 

@Rob D: I'll be looking to be paid a small token for it. I might as well get something for it.

Why does it need to be felled? Cheers, steve
