This particular tree was at least 1000 years old - there's documentary evidence of Robin Hood using it for shade.

It was 150 years old, it makes no difference to me personally in terms of feelings, but 1000 was far enough out that I wanted to correct it. The documentary evidence was a Kevin Costner movie.

I suspect that the user you're replying to was joking
It was planted in the 1800s
