The Oak in Ophrah

Judges 6:11 - The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites.

Was there only 1 oak tree in Ophrah? Were oaks rare in those days? Are they rare in Israel today? Was it the largest oak in the area?

I'm curious. Could you please tell me what brought you to this page by mentioning it in a comment? I won't publish the comment, if you ask me not to.
