Here are two contrasting types of oak found within a couple of hundred yards in a woodland on Mull. Above looks as if it is an open grown tree: the branches spread in all directions, and the main trunk is short and stout. The trees in the background have the same characteristics.
Whereas this stand is more typical of the old oak coppice woods of Argyll: lots of oak stems all crowded together and forced up to find light.
