I have always wanted to visit England, but not the usual tourist destinations, but the smaller not so well known stone circles, and the trees. They have fascinated me since I was a little thing. I have always enjoyed them. Look up The Tree That Owns Itself in Athens, Georgia. I think that is what started my fascination.😂
Another beautiful tree is the Ashbrittle yew in Somerset, have photographed some of these trees and what amazes me is that an ancient building is given protected status and access is restricted but something natural and many times older, anyone can walk right up to, although most do have a great respect for them.
Completely agree with the Oak at the end leave it up to Nature to decide, take away it's barricades. There is an Oak in Rostrevor called Old Holmer and they have put a steel beam on it to keep it from "falling over" as if somehow we can no prolong its life artificially
Thank you for the post. That glorious oak suffering from impacted soil needs air cultivation to its roots with an Air Spade. If we humans can bring relief to a venerable and noble oak tree, and thereby extending its life , then our existence is justified. We trampelled the soil thus preventing the oxygen getting to its root systems. It is our responsibility to remedy the injury we have caused. And let us help its heavy limbs with supports. Why not? We need such an ancient source of wisdom to be amongst us for as long as possible inspiring us with its character, its stoicism, its grandeur, its courage, its beauty , its honest endurance, its truth. Let us help it to live the life of an Oak Tree for as long as possible. Thank you again for the post.
Firstly I Loved your commentry and video. That SAID the last old OLK & maybe some to the other old Girls and Boys need this as well but i digress. They just needs tender hands looking after it rather than an artificial hands holding it up (totally agree with you there, but i have an idea) it needs our energy as much as we need its?.... plus they all need a big boost. (like you said it has not grown noticeably in over 250 years or so) AT THE POLES i suggest placing somenthing that will conduct the earths natural Magnetic field, if artificial material used then approx 50m away from its core and at an intial depth of 10ft rising to approx 20ft above ground (if natural preferably stone that has alot of iron and other metals minerals at a quarter size a quarter of the initial size and distance in sugested locations) , to make this tree energetic again, and alot of new minerals and black gold will need to be added from the tree stump out to the new poles! and then also add wood piles enoculated with native mushroom spores at each of these poles then sprinkle a ton of the aforementioned from the core all the way out to the antenia. it will soon think that it is a sappling again... ( we all need help when we get a bit older as long as it is the correct help). god bless your all....... can add soo much more but hey try it on a smaller application like your veggie garden for one season you will be smacked in the face with what you get.
Amazing selection of trees .... i think as far as the last tree goes .. collect some acorns from it .. plant them around the big one .. far enough away not too get damaged .. and let the tree do what it wants .. if it dies .. leave it alone .. when it eventually falls over .. its seedlings will be there to take over .. and then let it rot into the ground .. Oaks are so beneficial to all sorts of wildlife and flowers at different stages of its life .. and even when rotting away on the ground other wildlife species benefit from that 😀😀
highest hedge row in perth fire brigate cut it its high, theres an old yew tree in northumberland, its that big its got steel bands wrapped around it all over
Wow! That was beautiful ... and saddening. I, too, am old and want to die. Society, however, is so preoccupied with life that they've come to see that death is the opposite of life, which, of course, is not true. Death is not the opposite of life, but the culmination of a life lived well. Death is so much a part of life that a good death is what life is all about.
I agree on letting the last tree run its natural course. Those poles are like forcing a mostly dead or coma patient on life support where they stay a vegetable. There has to be a way to petition that or something.
Assalamu alaiykum sister. We live in a culture that denies death as part of the cycle of life. The crone is to be feared not venerated hence the imbalance. Science will prop up many things but the flow will prevail. We will all return that's one fact in life. Currently germinating 8 acorns from a local sacred site with the intention of returning them for generations to come. Blessed be.
I'll admit, the supports for the last tree do look a bit too prominent, and unnatural, especially given their height and number. I do think these are acceptable for some trees, however. Especially when done in an unimposing way, for limbs closer to the ground. For some unobtrusive examples, check out "Alamo Live Oaks" on google. You'll see some of he Oaks in and around the Alamo, of San Antonio TX. In Texas we have a ton of Southern Live Oaks, they're among the most magnificent trees anywhere. Fair tale trees, an the kind seen in front of old plantation homes, draped with Spanish Moss (bromeliads) and limbs so heavy they touch the ground. In some cases, it's not appropriate to let them touch the crowd, so low stilts will do. I saw this because for some limbs, when they fall it creates a rough wound, and one that makes the tree more susceptible to decline. True, it's natural for many old trees to get hollow, and lose their heart wood, but there are times few discreet supports can also help them withstand severe thunderstorms (if unable to let the limbs drop to and rise from the ground). Nice video.
Thankyou for visiting our dear old friends in the woods.in reference to the yew changing sex.this often happens if the tree is threatened by human intervention,disease or just plain old age and is a survival method to propogate its saplines.and yes.fencing and propping trees I feel is against the natural order.trees are sentient and the poor tree must be missing contact,and youthful spirits standing in awe of their majesty.take down all that steel.let the tree decide.they know better.thanks again.love,light and blessings.maddog.west cork.eireX£😀
New sub... bloody heck tho.. why jer want to kill the old oak tree, there's one in Liverpool supported with posts that's 1000s years, I think it's cool
I didn't know about this one in Liverpool! It's great to hear another point of view, and the way you write this did put a smile on my face :) I guess I don't want to kill the tree... Just leave it be and let it do it's own thing. Though I understand the opposite view too - the magnificence of such and an old tree, and all its history is perhaps something that should be cared for and maintained. Food for thought....
@@AmberMoonWitchOfSolstice thanks it's nice to hear about the other old trees too I've visited one of the yews and I found the coppised one fascinating and makes me think of symbiotic relationships between humans and plants like ants or that might have existed once through big animals like mammoths or other relationships. The one in Liverpool called the Allerton oak if your interested :)))
You mentioned this tree was possibly 2,000 years old so has that been confirmed by carbon dating? Also you claim others are of the opinion it is 7 or 8 thousand years old. Why so ?
Carbon dating of ancient yew trees doesn't really work as the oldest part in the centre rots away with age. The 7- 8 thousand year old claims are dubious in the extreme - the Ancient Yew Group certainly doesn't believe these figures.
That is some serious anthropomorphising you were doing at the end of the video there. On a more serious note, I have wondered whether intelligence could exist in the wood wide Web such as it does in James Cameron's Avatar. Obviously a single tree cannot long for anything the same way a person might, it's certainly wouldn't long for death because it wouldn't suffer in the same way a person might. However when you consider that the tangle of roots, fungal hyphae and bacteria that lie beneath the soil is vast and complex, is it so incredible to think it might have consciousness? Even if that "thinking" might operate on a time scale a thousand times slower than a vertebrate's brain, might it not still have moral worth? If the bible/ Quran/ anarchist's cookbook - or whatever your religious text of choice is - really is the word of God(s) and not words written by men (or women) you would think there would be explanation of some mysteries of which science has yet to uncover....

Brilliant talk, I think I need to visit some of these trees, I particularly like the yew that is changing xxx

That was great, we have an Ancient Yew Tree oldest in Essex at Great Burstead Church, love these old trees
thanks amber just recently got into trees I never realised how amazing they are billons of them and all unique these old ones are amazing thanks agian
Good Morning !!! Yes lovely trees ❤️ thank you for this video (Yew Trees ) need protecting as do all our wonderful beautiful trees bless them all 👍🏻
Watched your video, really well done and interesting. I have now subscribed to your channel. 🏴

I'm going to bowthorpe Oak it's under a hour away from my home. Thanks for the video
I hope the weather holds - I have been told its very peaceful :)
Yes Queen. Let grandfather go...

Are you sure Perthshire is in England?

In this case it is a vegetable.
Well, almost.
I want to be a tree 😆
Please don’t show the trees an where they are because the councils will chop them down for our safety Build back better

its plant pot is 5 billion years old, just a joke
ROFL. Love it!
I'm going to visit the bowtree oak tomorrow. I'll say hi to it from everyone
