The "planted" (and documented) one: probably there are older native trees.

It seems the oldest French tree is this one:

Here it is considered almost an "invasive" plant, and it is also the oldest planted tree in Paris:

If it is a Robinia pseudoacacia — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinia_pseudoacacia — is robust enough to survive.

Hang on locust! @chrisnelsonsdog

I think the top is a goner, but I'll make a cleaner cut and hope the bottom half survives.

It probably wouldn't grow back together, but it might live.

I hope so too. It was growing so fast, we were so pleased with it, and now there's a hole in the landscape 😢
