The five-metre long sapling is too tall to be driven up the snaking pathways, to the 60-acre hilltop park in the Peak District.

Rod said: “The oak is surprisingly bad at reproducing naturally.
"Good seed years only occur infrequently and the overwhelming majority of the tens of thousands of acorns dropped are eaten by animals or simply rot.
"It is left to forgetful squirrels or jays who bury them but never return to consume them, for the lifecycle of this giant of the countryside to continue.”
