I agree- I'm not sure how many readers realise how old old oak trees are. Britain is home to ancient oak trees that are seceral hundreds of years old, and connected in amazing ways to the ecosystem. Obviously nobody is suggested using ancient oak trees, but it gives some idea of the life span of an oak tree.
A sutton hoo recreation would be amazing, but I'm not sure it justifies use of veteran stock over newer oak trees.
- zitsarethecure 2y agoA neighbor of mine here in the US cut down a nearly 300 year old white oak that was in his yard to make room for a kitchen addition. I saved a small piece of a branch that I turned into a bowl, but the rest of it was cut up for firewood.
