Quel est l'arbre le plus vieux de Sorrento ?
The oldest tree associated with Sorrento is the Stone Pine of Villa Fondi, in the neighbouring town of Piano di Sorrento, one Circumvesuviana stop from Sorrento station and a ten-minute walk. Italy's national monumental-tree register and the Regione Campania's own tree card agree on its measurements exactly, 4.18 metres round and 20 metres tall, and put its age at roughly 150 years, a planting of the garden laid out in 1875 around a prince's villa. In 2014 the WWF named it and its neighbours the last old pines standing on this stretch of the tufa slope and stopped a plan to cut them back hard. A holm oak in the same park carries an identical estimated age from the same sources, so the two effectively tie; the pine gets the answer here for its fuller documented history. None of Sorrento's seven oldest trees stand in Sorrento itself: all seven are in Piano di Sorrento, the adjoining comune on the peninsula, most a short walk from the Circumvesuviana station and the seventh, a sessile oak further up the same stream valley, a twenty-five to thirty minute walk uphill.
This page is built on Italy's national MASAF monumental-trees register, cross-checked against the Regione Campania's own tree cards, the only two sources with age information: the national data carries species and girth but no age field, so every year here comes from the regional card's testimony rather than a ring count. All seven candidates stand in Piano di Sorrento, the town bordering Sorrento, reached by one Circumvesuviana stop. Six cluster within a short walk of the station, three of them cypresses in the same municipal cemetery, dated to its 1876 opening by local testimony and distinguished by girth and placement. The seventh, a sessile oak in Vallone San Giuseppe, stands a further twenty-five to thirty minutes up the same stream valley; the two government sources disagree on its girth by 13 centimetres, and its regional card gives its age only as secolare, century-old, with nothing newer than a 2008 survey to confirm it still stands. A cluster at the Grand Hotel Parco dei Principi was set aside: its own site limits the garden to guests and restaurant patrons, which does not clear this site's bar for free entry.
