Old oak by haskar

Old oak

Our old oak is very beautiful, but we have to help it already. I just met conservationists who put on additional clamps on branches. Among the branches you can find a contractor for these works.
Old oaks are so beautiful - some grow old gracefully after centuries and some need help - just like me!

Never seen this done before

Very interesting. I've never seen this done in the UK, I think they actually lop the branches that look in danger of falling.

Oh wow, I hope you can save it. Such a beautiful tree.

@gardenfolk @peadar This oak is 260 years old and 31m high. Very heavy lower branches are secured with steel supports. For vertical stabilization, counter-branches are tied up with tie wraps and wire ropes.

So interesting to see how it's supported.

@haskar It is an amazing tree. I hope it can be preserved. It must be a costly project. Reminds me of a tree I took a photo of and posted that is also huge and old.

Gosh, how amazing. Good to see such efforts.

I'm not sure I knew that trees were propped up like this. An interesting shot of the procedure.

Glad you are giving it such care. It is make so and worthy of the attention

A most noble thing to do. I've seen this done at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania.

Such a good sense of scale. And so glad you got the person with the orange vest...it adds just that needed touch of color!

So interesting. I did not know that trees could be saved this way.

Goodness that tree is so large which means it truly is OLD! No wonder it needs some help and it's well-deserved too. Good shot!
