It wasn't super old, but a recent white oak blow-down in Fernbank Forest had 170 rings on a 2.17' DBH stump. Forest grown of course. Some VERY tight rings. A nearby Northern Red Oak had 140 rings on a 1.92 DBH stump. Eli

My best is a cut tree in Yeadon Pa that was 247 years old. This area has several white oaks of the same size and some larger that might be older. These are forest trees in habit. Who else has an old white oak from the US?
