Oak #treetrail

Many students will have first passed through this historical courtyard when they registered at Whitworth Hall on arrival at The University of Manchester. Chances are the students weren’t paying too much attention to the trees at this point which include this lovely group of oak trees, a pleasant distraction for anyone finding themselves here.

English oak is arguably the best known and loved of British native trees. It is the most common tree species in the UK, especially in British deciduous woods. The oak is a celebrated tree in every way, forestry, mythology, medicine, biodiversity and construction. Oaks produce one of the hardest and most durable timbers on the planet, even its Latin name, ‘robur’ means strength. It has been a prized hardwood timber for thousands of years, was the main ship building material until the mid-19th century and remains a popular wood for structural architectural beams. Children know and love oaks for their acorns but you’ll have to be patient if you plant a young oak tree; acorns are not produced until the tree is at least 40 years old. Peak acorn production usually occurs around 80 – 120 years.
