No chance. Just making the point that there are some ancient trees out there. We have a couple on our property I would say are a lot closer to 500 years old then they are 150.

Not a marker tree, but a old Red Oak. This is the biggest on this 50 acre tract. There are several more, just not as large, but big none the less. That is a Winchester 1300 with a 26" barrel. There are limbs the diameter of some of the "bigger" trees in the area. I was going to put a lock-on tree stand in it because the deer use the corner of the field it is in regularly. I took a small drill bit to start a pilot hole for pegs and drilled a 4-5" hole and it was all bark. I just let it be.

Love old trees - would like to see a whole thread where people posted the oldest and biggest they know.
On ours we have 5 or 6 elms that are simply towering - The fact that we rarely see huge elms anymore makes them real special - like 6 feet at the base or something silly like that.

I’ve got a tree that fits the description of the OP at a remote section of my property. Always intrigued me. I’ll have to take a picture next time I’m in the area and post it. I would be interested in opinions from those more knowledgeable than I.
