3/3 @bluekoala065 I can’t enter being employed by @CoedCadw I need to get someone else to :) & I really should take a high res portrait photo of it, in it’s best light, I’d regret not doing it, to not catch it in its prime of life.

2/3 @bluekoala065 I thought it looked pagan-ish , or gothic, old hunting grounds 16th century ish. Antler shapes, with reaching arms. I love that it’s shaped the Summergill brooke, & possibly vice versa. Ash has the biggest biomass of roots, very deep rooted….It really ought to be in the #Cymru #treeoftheyear.

1/3 @bluekoala065 I love the Summergill Brooke Ash, an ancient tree nearly at its end of life, but in great condition! Quite unique because of its species - Ash dieback, & because of it’s location, a floodplain right on the Welsh boarders, and how its lifetime growing conditions have shaped it. An open grown ash tree, more than likely an Ash tree Silvopasture. Those branches had space to grow into…

I called it the #DuhonwOak 7.32m girth, Approx 600 yrs old around in 1400’s Henry IV & the Rebellion in #Wales under Owain Glyndwr.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak tree produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year, & may support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, & lichen.

Rich & rare #AncientTrees, they are irreplaceable #LivingLegends - https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-trees-and-woods/campaign-with-us/tree-protection-campaign/
