This old tree could tell a story or two if it could speak. It's like my mental image of an Ent from Lord of the Rings. Not Treebeard but one of his fellow Ents. The electricity pole gives scale. My guestimate is that it is 200-300 years old and has been in this blasted and decorticated state for many years too. What a specimen.
