So far, this one of my favourite of your haikus. I adore oaks and you really capture a feeling of their sublime age. I love the sonics (sibilance and alliteration) on s and t too.

Precisely what these huge living beings are--and do. Told you you were going to be good at this.
Great work.

Oh I like this :)
I don't know if this is how it was intended, but it made me think of how you can look at the rings of a tree and see the history of how much water/nutrients the tree had (for the "recording time passed" part).
But anyways, I really liked this :)
