I remeasured this two-stemmed oak on 21 August 2019 around the narrowest obtainable girth 1.3-1.5 m above the ground (there is a spreading root base but that is not the ground) and got exactly 10.00 m. This is definitely a single tree; massive callous growth closing gaps and dead wood makes it look like two.
