Free FreeEngland has more ancient native oak trees than any other country in Europe. If we take the largest oaks, with a girth of >9.00 m, Aljos’ investigations show there are 112 of those in England but only 90 in all other European countries combined, also counting those in Scotland and Wales.
The two oaks concerned, Quercus petraea and Q. robur, occur all over Europe and even beyond and are among the commonest trees in the lowlands and hills. So why has England so many of these spectacular ancient trees, dating back to the Middle Ages? These oaks are the most important single spot locations for biodiversity in England and must be better protected than they are.
