Where are all the Treehuggers
I am very supprised to find no threads here, so I think I'd better start one.
Over the years of my life I've become attached to quite a few trees. There is one species that holds me more than any otherand that is the Yew. The Fortingal Yew, in Scotland, is said to be over 5000yrs old it may even be near 9000yrs old. Even so, it is the oldest tree in Europe and is one of the oldest living beings in the world. There is a Lime, in Westonburt Arboretum, in Gloucestershire, that is around 5-6000yrs old its age being helped by having been coppiced.
Does anyone know of any older?
