125 Year Old Lilac - Exceptional Trees on Waymarking.com

The girth and gnarled trunk on this lilac tree speaks to its age. The resident purchased the property 40 years ago from an elderly lady (85) years old at the time. The lady told the purchaser that she used to play around the tree when she was just a young child. Thus estimating the lilac to be around 125 years old.

Truck is massive for such a tree and as you can tell from the photograph it is horizontal and being supported up above the ground.

Located in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada and just two meters off a public street and sidewalk. Current owner is friendly though is not aware of this waymark listing.

I estimate the girth of the truck as 4 meters
