Champion tree
2005-09-08
A HUGE oak tree in Groot Drakenstein has been provisionally declared a “national champion tree” worthy of conservation in honour of Arbor Day.
The oak tree considered to be more than 200 years old is located on the farm Zorgvliet-Delta. It is among a total of 24 “champion trees” declared worthy of conservation.
They are considered magnificent examples of their species by virtue of their age and esthetic or historic value.
