      Quercus robur

      Age: Mature

      Condition: Good

      The largest English oak, the majesty oak, stands in Great Britain with a 12.7-foot diameter. Quercus robur have been known to live up to 1,500 years, and therefore are associated with strength and endurance by many nations and cultures.

      It has been said that "every oak tree was once a nut that stood its ground". This English oak represents a majestic sprawling form of oak, with ultimate trunk diameters ranging from 4 to 12 feet. It is a white oak with delicately lobed leaves.
