The tree should have been gone now but the tree surgeons have been busy with other jobs. However, they have confirmed the tree will be felled this weekend 25th and 26th Oct. 2014. You may want to take a drive up the A1 to see and appreciate the tree.

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.

@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.

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.
