Historic trees

I have been trying to take photos of this magnificent avenue of lime trees for some time, but the vastness of the trees is difficult to portray.

The avenue, planted almost 300 years ago during the reign of George I, has 100 trees of the Tilia genus.
At one hundred years old, in the reign of George III, the trees survived the 'year with no summer', when an enormous volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora, Indonesia, in 1815, combined with a period of low solar activity to cause strange weather patterns and failure of crops the following summer. There was a distinct drop in temperature, with very wet weather and heavy snowfalls in the summer throughout Britain.

Almost a hundred years on, in 1912, when George V was King, there was a similar massive eruption in Katmai, Alaska, which caused significant lowering of global temperatures due to the ash in the atmosphere. In the UK this resulted in cool, dull and wet weather throughout the year. Some researchers even believe this eruption could have had an influence on Captains Scott's South Polar expedition, as the expected temperatures of -20 F plummeted to -40 F.

Another 100 years have passed and this year the Lime trees have faced the threat of drought, with rainfall being down by more than 50% in this area.

When the trees reach their 300th anniversary in a couple of years' time, I wonder if we will be seeing a new king crowned George VII (The name that Prince Charles is likely to take as king)

With the threat of global warming ever increasing, what stories will these trees have to tell when they are four hundred years old?
