The oak
is the largest and longest lived of our native species generally
living to several hundred years of age unless felled (usually for
timber) which is not often done before maturity at about 150 years.
Before the introduction of continental species the oak was, in most
areas of Britain, the dominant species of our native woodland and
often still caused not by any aggressive tendencies but as a
function of its longevity. The oak affords a habitat for as many as
500 species of insects in its foliage and bark but has such powers
of recouperation that the tree and for us the important bit the
timber does not suffer.
