Duizendjarige den Wolfheze J.W. Bilders

The Duizendjarige den was a scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) in the Wolfhezerbossen near Wolfheze, Netherlands. The tree fell down on 28 May 2006. It is estimated that the tree was nearly four hundred years old.The tree did not show any sings of illness but the trunk was hollow. The trunk had a perimeter of 430 centimeters and was 22 meters long. It is estimated that the tree germinated around the year 1600 and that it was one of the oldest trees in the Netherlands before it fell down. The name Duizendjarige den (Dutch language: "thousand year pine") was thought up during the second half of the nineteenth centaury by a group of landscape painters connected with the Oosterbeekse school.
