62″ pin oak with a root flare that makes my little arborist heart flutter.
Tree owner says tree is at least 120 years old. This used to be all farmland and the family who planted it still has a relative who lives on the street.
I love stuff like that. There’s an old neighborhood near me developed in the early 1900s that still has several people living there with the last name of the main street. I go there a lot for digging up bottles in the old neighborhood dump. There’s a pecan on the property that’s about this size

If trees were a commodity and moveable, I’d pay a good chuck of change for a tree like that. But they are however priceless. Oaks never cease to grab my attention.

Sexiest pin oak I’ve ever seen
Edit: most pin oaks I climb have a more conifer-like structure. This one is embracing it’s red oak nature

I’ve been wanting to plant an oak in my yard for a while and I’m taking this as my sign to go ahead and do it. What a gorgeous tree

When I was a child my grandfather had a little tykes rope swing with extra rope swung over a pin oak’s tallest and strongest branches. The tree was on a hill and he had a concrete bench next to the tree. I could launch myself way over the hill. Best memories and why pin oak is one of my favorite trees.
