The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, according to legend Robin Hood and his merry men used to hide out in it's hollow trunk. Though that couldn't have been this tree as it's not old enough, or would have justa sapling. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story, and tourism though

Interesting that the Angel Oak in the OP the branches touch the ground, you can The Major Oaks are supported, or they're weight would split the trunk.

A tree with a walker? Who wood have thought it? Knot me. Must be a new branch of medicine.

Oh nice. I wish people would come around and prop up my parts as I get older.:p

BTW, it's "their weight would split the trunk".
