I'm writing a story in present tense. One sentence is a little tricky for me, and I don't know if I should use past or present tense:
**Present tense**
The tree was so massive, that it even withholds the strongest storms.
**Past tense**
The tree was so massive, that it even withheld the strongest storms.
I am not quite sure because it is a fact that could still last today, but the whole story is written in past tense.
