| General Notes: |
This Burr Oak in our backyard is apparently among the oldest trees in Manitoba. Two arborists have said it is at least 200 years old (estimates 2015). With a girth of 102 inches it exceeds the famous Souris oak, claimed to be 500 years old, but probably younger than ours at a mere 96.5 inches (in 2012) (see the Winnipeg Free Press, “This oak is old, but 500 years old?” April 27, 2012). Our oak is also much better shaped! The species can live up to 400 years further south, but in Manitoba 200 years is apparently about the maximum. At the moment it seems perfectly healthy.
