THE REj\1 ARK ABLE TREES 



OP 



HEREFORDSHIRE. 



THE MOCCAS OAK, 1870. 

 (Q. Pedunculaia. ) 

 This grand old tree has often been figured, and its fame is widely known . It 

 stands in the park of Moccas Court, the seat of the Rev. Sir George Cornewall, Bart. 

 At 5 feet from the ground it gives in fair measurement a circumference of 156 feet. 

 The bole is quite hollow, with an opening on the south side. It has, however, much 

 living spray remaining, and, from the sound state of the northern side of the tree, is 

 likely to continue to bear it for many a year to come. (See Transaclimis, for 1870,
