I also added some statistics and figures for #datanerds :)

Tree planted around 1700.

Stone text says it was planted by Tsar Nicholas who famously stayed in Deptford and trashed his house and weed on the mattresses.
More likely it was planted by John Evelyn #silentSunday #loveTrees #VeteranTrees (taken today) Mulberry tree in the heart of #Deptford

Hidden oak (c 200 years old) in the depths of Nunhead cemetery. It always has a few small offerings by the roots.

One of my favourite #VeteranTrees is this Yew at Stoke Park Wood in Hampshire, England. Locals know it as "The Witches' Tree". #ThickTrunkThursday
I’m probably showing my age here, but who else would like an A / S / L (age, stats, location) on #thickTrunktuesday posts?
