Abraham’s Oak, also known as the Oak of Mamre, in Hebron. The tree was already ancient when it was documented by European travelers in the 19th century. The Oak fell in 2019 🌳

Crown Princess Victoria visited the world's thickest oak tree – the Kville Oak, which has a circumference of over 14 meters. The trip was part of her ambition to visit all 30 of Sweden's national parks 📷 Kungahuset

🎉1️⃣🍾 Nº 1 on the daily year-end countdown of Sweden’s 🇸🇪 stoutest Oaks is Kvilleken! It’s considered to be Sweden's oldest and largest tree, if not the largest oak in all of Europe in terms of girth. It measures 14 meters in circumference and is at least a thousand years old.
