the Sacred Oak in Oley, Berks County,

[jeff of pa]

the Sacred Oak in Oley, Berks County, estimated to be 500 to 700 years old. This Chinkapin Oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) predates European settlement and was a sacred site for the Lenape Indians. While no core samples have been taken to certify its age, its historical significance, size, and longevity make it a strong contender for the title of Pennsylvania's oldest tree.
