Treaty Oak

Decided to wander a bit around my hotel and came across this amazing tree. Incredible! Nestled right next to the highway and a parking garage, and completely empty. Check it out if you’re in the area.

Small park centered around a magnificent specimen of Souther live oak. Very reminiscent of the growth pattern of the Angel Oak in Charleston, SC, the the massive branches descending into and back out of the earth. Arguably more impressive than its Carolina cousin as the sheer number of massive central branches emanating from the main trunk appeared to measure in the double digits. We walked from the hotel across the street so not sure where visitors would park, I didn’t see a lot, but it’s definitely worth visiting if your a nature buff like me.

I was totally blown away by this tree. It is so amazing. How the gnarly, twisted branches drop to the ground only to curl back up, reaching for the sun. The tree's trunk is huge. I estimate that the tree is 450 years old, if not older.
