Yes, I've seen what you describe, seems common, though there are many still around, it's kind of sad to see them destroyed by D.E.D. We have lost quite a few. There were some very old ones here as I recall when I was a kid, corners or hedgerows between fields etc.
I believe that although D.E.D., takes quite a few of them, it cannot wipe them out because they do reseed and grow rapidly compared to other species. The one I tried to save left a sibling almost under it's former canopy, and genetically it resembles the parent.
