This is the wonderful northern red oak tree on our street, Avalon Blvd., in Scarborough. This northern red oak tree on Avalon Blvd. ( Julie Hagan )One of our neighbours is 95 years old and has lived in her house all her life. I would guess that puts the age of the tree to at least 150 years old, but it may be much older. My daughters, Meredith and Elizabeth, both recall the fun they had as children climbing up in to the middle of the tree where the trunk splits, something that other neighbourhood children continue to do.
