The oak tree has been held in high esteem to the Greeks, Romans, Celts, Slavs and Teutonic tribes the oak was foremost amongst venerated trees, and in each case associated with the supreme god in their pantheon, oak being sacred to Zeus, Jupiter, Dagda, Perun and Thor.
Ancient kings presented themselves as the personifications of these gods, They wore crowns of oak leaves, as a symbol of the god they represented.
Roman commanders were presented with crowns of oak leaves during their victory parades.
If it is spring time was the ash at the cache before this one more in leaf than the oak above you or is the oak more in leaf.
Folklore saying is
If the Oak is before the Ash
Then we'll only have a splash.
If the Ash is before the Oak,
Then we'll surly have a soak!
The reason for this is the more rain that the oak has had the earlier it sprouts leaves so if we have had a lot of rain earlier then it is likly to be dryier from now on.
