Kongeegen

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kongeegen (the King Oak) is an oak tree in Denmark. It grows in J gerspris Nordskov (J gerspris North Forest) near J gerspris, on the island of Sj lland. It has an estimated age of 1500-2000 years, and may well be the oldest living oak in northern Europe. It probably originally grew in an open meadow, to account for its short trunk and low branching, with other taller forest trees growing up around it subsequently. The taller trees around it are now shading it and slowly killing it.
