When the house was build there was anouther oak of the same size.... this tree was taken down, i think about ten years ago. My college took it down.

Jelte , got any glues to when the house was built, looks fairly new-ish. Pity they built the house so close to the tree, a tree that majestic should have at least a little bit more room to breath. I know the price of land in Holland is sky high, but think of the tree first, god them developers.

Used to see a lot of Quercus palustris up in Holland when I used to work for Pius Floris Amsterdam. Easly mistaken for rubra´s to the untrained eye.

Good to see you got dry weather for a change, raining here in Frankfurt.

Take care

Thanks guys! This sort of work gives me the most satisfaction, leaving a product behind to come back to later is what it's all about!
