Our 300+ year-old Red Oak hs been struggling since we bought our farm along South Branch of the Potomac. It was there when Lord Fairfax granted the land to the French and Murphy families, long before West Virginia became a state. It fell apart after Saturday's weather.
It varied from 6 to 8 feet in diameter and was more than 24 feet in circumference. Ten years ago the state forester told me it would certainly be in the top 10 statewide but they only keep records on the top 5.
