Earlier posts began presenting a definition for 'veteran trees' the following video from the Woodland Trust provides both additional examples of veteran characteristics to look out for, but more importantly the images of the Ancient Oak tree are inspirational to me...
Now we have some magnificent veteran trees that are well on the way to developing the type of grandeur displayed by that ancient oak........
It can take 400yrs to reach the status of ancient,
and less than 30 mins to be completely destroyed....once you know how to manage veteran trees...
it takes less than 5 minutes to preserve such unique trees deciding from a range of management options which ones best fit the specific situation for any individual tree.
The Veteran Tree Group of Australia (VTGA) is a group of passionate people committed to ensuring the long term future of all significant trees in Australia through raising public awareness of their importance providing public access to and encouraging the application of world's best conservation practice and increasing people's enjoyment of older trees.
