Phew

Eventually a tree was found: a 45 metre ancient oak that had fallen in a storm 15 years ago but lay undisturbed because the owner couldn’t bear to see it chopped up for firewood.

I feel like I shouldn't have had to read half the article to get to this information. All they had to do was put the word "dead" in front of oak somewhere in the beginning. Fucking click baiters.

It’s crazy it was still salvageable after being uprooted so long.
