Damorey's Oak,
Damorey's Oak, in Dorsetshire was close to 2,000 years of age when it was blown down in 1703, but Yew trees last even longer - some may even reach 3,000 years of age, though there is much debate over these figures. Both trees grow slowly, but the Yew takes its time: it grows only 1 foot in diameter for every 30 years of life, on average.

Here's one you could add to the Africa collection:

This is the Southernmost Baobab tree in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

It is also known as the Upside-down Tree because locals believe (or at least they used to, don't know whether they still do!) giants plant them upside down. Carbon dating has shown that some Baobabs have lived for anything up to 3000 years.



N.B. I don't know it's exact position. Have you ever tried to find a particular tree in an area that is Low-Res, full of trees, with no place names?!! However, my placemark is pretty close, I know it's in the Mpumalanga Province which is what I marked.

ianuk beatiful tree,like many others hidden to public The Forest Service does not reveal the actual position in order to protect those trees.CLICK FOR PLACEMARK

I have actually seen this tree myself on holiday in the Kruger National Park in 1996. However, I can't remember what the nearest camp was and the Kruger's own website doesn't say where it is.

But you may be right, perhaps you're just supposed to come across it....

Hey Majoska,

Here's one in Lahaina, Hawaii on Maui. The thing takes up a complete square block on Front Street near the harbor. Pretty impressive.


http://www.mauiwhaler.com/localarea.htm

'Ficus Benghalensis' has been a Lahaina landmark for more than 12 decades. The tree has spread over the area via aerial roots which, when they reach the ground, grow into thick trunks. The Lahaina Banyan Tree is the largest in the United States.

BTW - Nice Post. Good thread idea.

trvlnman

Nice collection and welcome addition.

Here's an update for you pinpointing the Major Oak exactly.

thanx grizle you know we tried all sources can we trusted GPS location
we working

I've added overlays for all the UK trees with exact locations and aerial photos for the low res places where I can. Note that Shakespeare's Mulberry was 80 miles out.

Here's a plan of Glastonbury abbey showing the Thorn Tree location


Also added a new one, The Ankerwycke Yew reputedly under which King John signed Magna Carta in 1215, but much older than that.

grizle

thanx for you tip now GE Community learn about thoses trees

Hi,

Checking trees that I know, you have mis-located the following:

The Mehuselah Tree is about 20 miles south of the placemark;

The General Sherman Tree is about right, but the General Grant Tree should be about 30 miles *northwest* of the General Sherman Tree.

The Stratosphere Giant is about 400 miles away from it's true location in Humboldt County, California.

Nice idea, though
