The Earth Page - Wistman's Wood is one of only three remote high-altitude oakwoods on Dartmoor, Devon, England. The trees are mainly pedunculate oak, with occasional rowan, and a very few holly, hawthorn, hazel, and eared-willow. The oaks are distinguished by their dwarf habit, and rarely reach more than 4.5 m (15 ft) in overall vertical height. The trees also developed highly contorted forms with procumbent trunks, and their main branches tend to lie on or between the rocks on the forest floor. A few trees reach 6-7.6 m (20-25 ft) in height; these also tend to have more vertical trunks and spread crowns. | Facebook
