I'm not sure what 'brand' of tree this is but judging by its knottiness, I suspect it's probably several hundred years old.

I'm not sure Anne- Marie. Perhaps some type of live oak?. I just love how the wild flowers and grasses are growing in the trunk. It does look like it would be pretty old doesn't it?. Glad you saw this and shared with us. It's a beautiful photo.

Wow, that looks amazing! I love all the colors and textures, but those grasses growing out the side of the tree really make it special.

I believe it to be an very old 'Beech' tree....looking at the leaves,and the colour of the bark, gives me the clues!
Suberb shot Anne-Marie.....I like the way you filled the frame with it...and the various colours are great too............

TOTALLY COOL! I feel like the tree is looking at me! This shot is nicely composed, and I especially like the flowers growing out of the "cave" (can I call it that?) in the center. Where in the world was this thing growing?

Great capture of this ancient tree. I agree with Bob that it could very well be a beech. It is a concern if there is a large enough pocket of decay to support the growth of grass and wildflowers that the tree may be nearing the end of its days.

Hi Anne-Marie, what a fantastic 'portrait' of a grand old veteran Beech Tree. Where was this taken as I love to see old vets like this one! Lovely composition.
Cheers,
Steve.
