The splendid Napoleon Oak 🌳 in its 248th year, now on the campus of the University of Lausanne.

For this tree, #UNIL researchers tested how many 🧬 mutations have accumulated over the centuries, distinguishing leaves of the oldest-diverged branches 🌿 from the top of the canopy. Research for arborists!👍
TL:DR surprisingly few.
