Beautiful, I feel the primal urge to climb it.
I’ve been to this tree, my dad lives near it, a bunch of locals will immediately get very angry with you
I figured it might be a no no…
How long would it take to make my own?
To achieve a living oak tree? A summer.
To get as massive as you see here? Four or five generations.
Eh, best I can do is…three generations. Take it or leave it.
There’s a witch somewhere looking for her tree.
Or an ancient troll buried beneath it, waiting to awaken
“Wood carver!”
Biblically-accurrate Angel Oak.
I don’t know it looks more like an eldritch octopus to me.
True lol
Oh, is the tree doing some painting? It’s got that nice little easel there.
I was there a few years ago ago! It’s huge! The picture is great but in person is still so much better.
Gotta wonder how many people were lynched on it. Is that how it got its name?
[Author] Denise Roffe interviewed an old African American woman, a descendant of slaves who once labored on the land near Angel Oak. She recounted a legend that the tree was home to giant vultures who feasted on the bodies of slaves who were hung from the branches.
Amazing that this tree is 10 quadrillion years old.
and 3 months
Speaking as a tree hugger, WAY TO GO, NATURE!
