OAK
- the definitive British tree! Whether
it be sessile or pedunculate there are
great renditions of oaks from all over
Britain. Lichen encrusted ancient oak
woodlands, growing amongst huge boulders
on Dartmoor, at Wistmans Wood and Piles
Copse. Massive old veterans of Staverton
Park in Suffolk and Windsor Great Park.
The wet and wild Atlantic oak woods of
north-west Wales and the western reaches
of Scotland. The highest oak woods in
England, at Keskadale in Cumbria. Many
fine and famous individual historic and
ancient oaks, such as the Major Oak, Marton
Oak, Bowthorpe Oak, Pontfadog Oak, etc..
Handsome specimens in field, hedgerow
and parkland. Details of bark, leaves,
flowers and acorns, as well as many of
the galls associated with oak.
