Comment about age of the tree

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

With a girth of only 7.46 m this pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) is unlikely to be older than 500-600 years. The age here given as 1637 years far exceeds the possible ages of the largest oaks in Europe with girths between 12.00 and 14.00 m. None can be determined with accuracy as all are hollow, but the oldest are possibly 800-1000 years only. Counter Comment: Girth is not a dependable measure of the age of a tree. Varying site conditions can drastically affect growth rate even within the same species.
