Thank you, Kurt! One more question: Esperöd is a settlement of several houses or oak forest around? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hi Nikita ! Esperöd is the name of the mansion, where Fallen lived/spent a lot of time. You can see a photo at: http://esperodsherrgard.se Google earth coordinates: 55 40'43.20'' N , 14 14'24.70'' E There is actually a photo of a big oak close to the mansion at Google earth, but I dont think there is any oak forest. Fallen died in 1830 and the arborete was created in 1922. Esperöd is also a "Nature reserve" with this homepage in Swedish  http://www.lansstyrelsen.se/skane/Sv/djur-och-natur/skyddad-natur/naturreservat/simrishamn/esperod/Pages/_index.aspx Leif Edited by skrylten on 25-02-2012 18:45 |

After some more research found this: There are also plenty of oak, both with big crowns, reminiscent of days when the landscape was characterized by grazing (Fallen's time ?) , and smaller windswept oaks, that grow on the east side, close to the sea. Hopefully this answers your "oak-question". /Leif |
