Marton Oak

[3] The tree is believed to be 1,200 years old,[4] and is thought to be in the latter stages of its lifespan, as most of the heartwood has rotted away.

The tree split into sections centuries ago, but they have one and the same root system.

Splitting is common in ancient sessile and pedunculate oaks, and poses no immediate health risk to the tree.

[citation needed] The tree grows on private land.
