Did you know?..............
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 it’s longevity. The oak affords a habitat for as
many as 500 species of insects in it’s foliage
and bark but has such powers of recouperation that the
tree and – for us the important bit – the
timber does not suffer.
