Notes | A grand specimen probably as old as the Belmont in whose garden it stands. You can tell it is an English Oak by looking closely at the leaves, They have a very short stem or petiole and there are two small tabs at the base of the leaf. Also the acorns appear on a long stalk called a peduncle. When the acorn has gone, the cupule looks like a small pipe that an elf might use. More about English Oaks if you click here. | ![]() |
