This impressive veteran specimen of Tilia x vulgaris Hayne [syn. Tilia x europaea L.] stands around 22m tall with a crown diameter of around 22.75m and DBH of 1.72m. The tree stem is hollowed to around 65% of diameter terminating at around 6m, due to Pholiota squarrosa (Weigel) P. Kumm. and other unidentified white rot fungi; despite this the tree is in good health overall. Unfortunately very close proximity building works are currently is progress where no consideration to the trees health have been implemented, with lower limb breakage and severe root damage. This is most likely to lead to an accelerated mortality of the tree.
Hello, I recently aged this large leaf lime tree using the John White system of aging (tree age estimation form stem diameter measurement). The planting date for this tree has been estimated at around c.1790. The age estimation of this tree should tie in with the old Myerscough hall, where this tree and a few others still standing where once part of the original avenue of the hall driveway.
