Thats great David....thought I was looking at parts of Richmond Park.

 

When does the estate/deer park date from?

 

What age roughly are your oldest tree?

[David oakman]

This is my oldest tree i call her my old lady she is about 870 years old Her DBH is 28 feet 8.9m i think. Two years ago i grew 150 of her acorns and planted in the park look at her crop this year.

David when i came here every dead tree was cut down but i have talked them into keeping some standing deadwood one of them is now home to a hornets nest. The front park is all tidy but out the back is left alone

A venerable old girl indeed David.

 

Take it there was little or no seed last year, right?

 

 

Who put the age on her?

 

 

Are your oldest Oaks mainly all petrea?

Yes no seed last year well very few. I age all the trees but this was dated by an expert before i came. No Robur. You can see she is a pedunculate oak stalks on the acorns:thumbup1:
