Rumskulla oak
The Rumskulla oak, also known as the Kvill oak, is an oak tree (''Quercus robur'')〔("Rumskullaeken—Sveriges grövsta träd" ), Naturreservat, Vimmerby, Länsstyrelsen Kalmar län, retrieved 17 November 2013 (pdf)〕〔Kerstin Jonsson, (Rumskullaeken (Quercus robur) ), Azote, retrieved 18 November 2013 〕 near Norra Kvill National Park in Rumskulla socken, Vimmerby, Kalmar County, Småland, Sweden. It is the oldest oak in Sweden and one of the largest trees in Scandinavia, and was first described in 1772.
== History ==
The tree is more than 1,000 years old〔(Faktablad: Skyddsvärda träd i kulturlandskapet ), Länsstyrelsen Kalmar (pdf)〕 and was first described by Magnus Gabriel Craelius in 1772 in ''Försök till ett landskaps beskrivning'' ("Essay in the description of a landscape").〔 It is high, with a trunk approximately in circumference and a volume of approximately , making it one of the largest trees in Sweden.〔("Sveriges största lövträd" ), Norgig, updated 30 October 2009 〕 According to Eksjö Municipality, it is the oldest tree in Scandinavia and the largest in circumference.〔("Mariannelund" ), Eksjö kommun, retrieved 17 November 2013 〕〔Eva Hernbäck, ("Stor, större störst" ), ''Dagens Nyheter'', 3 August 2002 〕
There was an iron band around the trunk to support it, thought to have been put there in the 19th century. It was partially replaced after being cut in 2005 by someone who said he wanted to "free" the tree.〔("Sabotör ville befria gammal ek" ), ''Svenska Dagbladet'', 15 July 2005, updated 12 October 2007 〕 It was replaced in 2013 by an arborist. A chain a little higher up prevents the trunk from splitting; the tree is now completely hollow. Climbing has been forbidden since 1998 and there is a fence around the tree; going closer than is not permitted.〔Lars Landström, ("Vackert om den älskade eken" ), Allehanda.se, 25 October 2010 〕
The hollow trunk of the tree was the location for sex scenes in ''I Am Curious (Yellow)'', a 1967 film by Vilgot Sjöman.〔〔''Sveriges Natur'' 78 (1987) (p. 118 ) 〕〔Vilgot Sjöman, ''I Am Curious (Yellow)'', scenario tr. Martin Minow and Jenny Bohman, Evergreen black cat book B-184, New York: Applause, 1968, ISBN 978-0-936839-53-0, (p. 140 ).〕 The film was controversial when first released, including being banned in Massachusetts; in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, it was ultimately determined not to be obscene.〔(Supreme.justitia.com:BYRNE v. KARALEXIS – 396 U.S. 976 (1969) ). Retrieved 17 November 2013.〕〔(Supreme.justitia.com:Byrne v. Karalexis – 401 U.S. 216 (1971) ). Retrieved 17 November 2013.〕
