Major Oak Dead After 1000 Years

The legendary Major Oak, a thousand-year-old tree in Nottinghamshire, has finally died — its last leaves fell in 2025. After a century of conservation efforts and recent panic over false rumors, officials now confirm its passing with deep sorrow. Dame Judi Dench, who’s lived through nearly a tenth of its life, honored it by sharing her own sapling from the tree and calling for stronger legal protections for ancient trees. Conservationists say centuries of tourism, climate change, and droughts sealed its fate — even though it could have lived much longer.
