Thanks for sharing! Looks like I will be making a detour off 70 during one of my STL to KC trips.

Easy to find...take Providence/Highway K all the way out to the tree. When they paved the road through the bottoms there, they actually named it Burr Oak Rd.

Here are a couple pics of one of the Old Live Oaks on our property.

Is that your house next to the second one? :confused3::shocked::shocked: Looks like it could use a little maintenance! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Hey Jesse,
[...] I have a picture of my wife in the gardens surrounding Blarney Castle in Ireland (yes, we kissed the Blarney Stone!). She is standing in front of a tree that just looks Tolkien-esque (like it's out of some wizardry fantasy novel). I'll see if I can dig it up and post later tonight. It looks like it's not real, but it is.

Took me a while to get this (promised back on post #4 of this thread) but here it is! This is a real tree, in the gardens as mentioned above.

Old pine close to the NW corner of my place in Upstate NY (had to stitch two pics together in ps to get this much in a single frame).

Old trees are majestic. One day I want to visit California and see the redwoods.

Like mentioned above everyone should visit an old growth forest at least once.

Here is one located about in the middle of the state of South Carolina just southeast of Columbia. Kind of near the intersection of I-77 and I-26 if anyone is traveling through go for a visit.

Check this out as well. Not live trees but some of the oldest non petrified wood found I believe.

This Sycamore is the largest tree on my property. It rises about 125 feet to the crown, and has two main stems each probably 40" across coming from a saddle that must be 7 feet across. It's anchored right into the bank of the creek that runs through my little slice of paradise.

Great thread everyone! I love trees, should have been some sort of tree biologist or something. I have books and books on forests, trees, the biggest ones, the oldest ones, etc.

Nice stuff. If they could talk!
