Weird Facts
This white oak is reputed to be 500 - 600 years old.
Oak wood is almost twice a dense as pine wood. It is regarded as a highly durable, hard and fungal-resistant material, mainly used for making high-quality furniture, doors and drums. It is also used to make barrels for storing wine, whiskey, brandy and other liqueurs. The oak wood adds a special aroma to these beverages and gives them a unique flavour, colour and taste.
During an acorn boom, known as a mast year, a single large oak can drop as many as 10,000 nuts.
The trees are prized landscaped specimens for their shade, and the shape and look of their wide-spreading branches.
