So called "700-year-Oak" near the village Stapel (Amt Neuhaus, district Lüneburg, northern Germany) is supposed to be the "fatest" oak in Lower Saxony. The true age might be more than 500 years. In a storm on 5 October 2017, the treetop was badly damaged. Viewed from the west, the habitus still looks reasonably intact, but from all other sides the tree looks severely damaged or ruined ever since. View from the south-west. Two of three main branches are broken off.
