Dømmesmo Oak
The Dømmesmo Oak (in Norwegian: "Dømmesmoeika") is a large oak tree that stands at Dømmesmoen park in Grimstad, Norway. A heavy snowfall in March 1985 broke several of the largest branches, and a New Year fireworks rocket ignited the tree around the year 2000. Nevertheless, the tree is still one of the most distinctive of old Norwegian trees. The oak is hollow, but the foliage is still lush and vigorous. Estimated age is about 500 years. The tree is 21 meters (69 ft) high and the perimeter is at above the ground .

The Dømmesmo Oak is probably a hybrid of the oak tree species "Quercus robur" and "Quercus petraea".

The cavity is formed by "Laetiporus sulphureus".
