Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Very old oak tree
Hi Heather & All, Sep 25. 2012
Don't believe it. That would make it 263 years old when Halifax was =
founded !
A count of rings is needed.
Without competition and after a slow start, Oak trees can easily add =
1.5 cm to diameter/year on sandy soil or fractured quartzite.

Subject: [NatureNS] Very old oak tree
Yesterday I was on Torrington Ave in Rockinghan and there used to be =
an big very old oak tree in the centre of a building lot. Well the tree =
is down to make way for a house. I asked the next door neighbor how old =
did she think it was and she said they purchased their home about twenty =
years ago and were advised at the time that the tree was over four (400) =
years old. I believe it. Very sad to see the grand old tree gone after =
surviving for that many years.=20
