If the tree is in New Zealand and that is a creek to the left--
I think that is the yew whose seed was pooped out by the last Moa.
LOL  One nice big tree there danny. Thank your mate for the photo.

PS if it was an oak around Virginia it would be around 250-300yrs old?

That thing is a great giant.  To see the things it has seen would be neat for sure.  Thanks for posting.
