Beth, JZ, & Scott, I suppose it would live a long time as long as there are no human disturbances, it's crown is very healthy. There are more walnut shells than acorns but it is producing. I guess the squirrels use the hollow for shelter and nut storage. The tree is about 600' west of the preserves entrance. Scott, there's an even larger sycamore I've been wanting to measure about a mile or two from the oak. It grows along Egypt Rd. Could you also check for the sycamore? How many trees are listed in the book?

I am surprised I didn't see that one in my travels. I will have to check the Penn tree book to see if it was listed.
