79x100 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 six hundred and fifty years or so ? Not coppiced since the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Most likley add some 0's to the guess. If trees are coppiced like this they can survive thousands of year, what look like a spinney can be one tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 six hundred and fifty years or so ? Not coppiced since the war. Good guess! Actually I measured its age and crossed referenced it many times and it is very early 1600's and without doubt the oldest tree in the woodland and stands like a majestic cathedral. It was last coppiced in the mid 30's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
