Description
Angel Oak Tree is a Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana) located in Angel Oak Park on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina. It is estimated to be in excess of 500 years old and possibly as old as 1700 years. It is so named due to the fact that it was on the property of a family named Angel. The city of Charleston purchased the property 25 years ago to protect and preserve what has been called "the oldest living or man made object east of the Rockies". It stands 66.5 ft tall, measures 28 ft. in circumference, and produces shade that covers 17,200 square feet.
