High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Major Oak is a huge Oak tree near the village of Edwinstowe in the heart of Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, England. According to local folklore, it was Robin Hood's shelter where he and his merry men slept. It weighs an estimated 23 tons, has a waistline of 33 feet (10m), and is about 800-1000 years old. There are several theories concerning why it became so huge and oddly shaped: The Major Oak may be several trees that fused together when saplings. The tree was possibly pollarded, a system of tree management that enabled foresters to grow more than one crop of timber from a single tree causing the trunk to grow large and fat. However, there is only limited evidence to support this theory as none of the other trees in the surrounding area was pollarded. It took its present name from Major Hayman Rooke's description of it in 1790.
