The calculation came out at about 130 years, meaning that the tree began its life in 1888, so its a Victorian!
If only it could speak and tell us what it had seen in all those years.

The Oak Tree
I saw a TV programme about trees recently and it said that trees can be aged by measuring the diameter of the trunk and doing a simple calculation. This gives an approximate age for the tree. This morning I went down onto the meadows and tried this method out on the big oak tree.
The calculation came out at about 130 years, meaning that the tree began its life in 1888, so its a Victorian!
If only it could speak and tell us what it had seen in all those years.
