The Hagueで最も古い樹木はどれですか。
The Hague's oldest tree is the Koekamp Oak, growing on the old deer meadow four minutes north of Den Haag Centraal, at roughly 300 years. It stands on ground that was never private: William of Orange promised in 1576 that the Haagse Bos would never be sold or logged, and that guarantee has held ever since, with one serious interruption during the wartime felling under German occupation. Its closest rival is the plane in Park Hoekenburg, which the national register bands between 1700 and 1750, so somewhere between 276 and 326 years, a fifty year band rather than a date. On the midpoints the two are within a few years of each other and this page does not pretend to separate them. Older than either was a pear of 1638 in an almshouse courtyard, and it is no longer on this page: it can only be seen on a booked tour, which is not a tree anybody can go and stand in front of.
Ages here come mostly from the Landelijk Register Monumentale Bomen, which records a planting decade rather than a year, so most figures on this page are bands rather than dates. The Koekamp oak, at roughly 300 years, grows on land that was never private at all, protected by a 1576 promise from William of Orange that the Haagse Bos would never be sold or logged, a guarantee that has held with one serious interruption, the wartime felling under German occupation. A second oak on the same meadow, and a London plane out at Leidschendam, are both banded by the register to somewhere between 1750 and 1800, which puts them between 225 and 275 years old. After those the list drops into the 19th century, onto estate land later built over, into two cemeteries and a painter's garden. One tree that used to head this page has come off it: the 1638 pear of the Heilige Geesthofje, which is genuinely the oldest tree in the city and can only be reached on a booked tour, and this site publishes trees a person can walk up to.
