Whatever Wednesday - Whoa! Now that's a big tree

"You have to go see The Angel Oak Park," said David and Cherie. Go see a tree?

Not just any tree. On St. John's Island SC, this is considered A Lowcountry Treasure - the largest Live Oak Tree east of the Mississippi.  It's 300-400 years old!!!


65 feet high.  25.5 feet circumference.  Shades 17,000 square feet


Branches are propped up a bit in places. 

 Lots of rules obviously.  Don't climb, carve, abuse, or do anything to harm this tree

Just gape in wonder. 

It's a damn big majestic oak

  1. That is a big tree. I've not seen that one, but a vineyard we visited in South Carolina had some like it.
