- Synopsis
- In this image of an oak tree, the trunk stems from the bottom centre of the page and the leafy branches are in the middle of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is a picture of an oak leaf in the top left and a picture of an acorn in the top right of the page. The leaf stem is to the top right of the leaf itself. The nut is similarly positioned. For scale there is a 'stick man' representing the height of an adult person in the bottom right of the page. The oak tree provided the strong wood necessary for building the ships of the British Royal Navy when it comprised square rigged sailing ships. The oak can live to be up to 600 years old and even after dying the main trunk (called a monolith) can stand for another 60 years before finally falling.
