Description
Angel Oak Tree- Saint Johns Island near Charleston,South Carolina-The Angel Oak Tree is a Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana) located in Angel Oak Park on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina. The Angel Oak Tree is variously estimated to be at least 400 and as much as 1400-1500 years old, stands 66.5 ft (20 m) tall, measures 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and produces shade that covers 17,200 square feet (1,600 m2). From tip to tip Its longest branch distance is 187 ft.[1] Angel Oak was the 210th tree to be registered with the Live Oak Society.[2]
This historic tree is a tourist attraction for people visiting the South Carolina Area.
The tree stands on land that was part of Abraham Waight's 1717 land grant.[3]
The oak derives its name from the estate of Justis and Martha Angel, although local folklore told stories of ghosts of former slaves would appear as angels around the tree.[4][5]
In spite of the popular belief that the Angel Oak is the oldest tree east of the Mississippi River, there are many bald cypress trees throughout the south which are many hundreds of years older.[6]
History
Angel Oak in July 2008.
The Angel Oak was damaged severely during Hurricane Hugo in 1989 but has since recovered.[7] The City of Charleston has owned the tree and surrounding park since 1991.[8]
Development is beginning to encroach on the site of the Angel Oak. In 2012, plans to build a 500-unit apartment complex that would be as close as 160 yards (150 m) to the Angel Oak were challenged in court by a group called Save the Angel Oak and the Coastal Conservation League; their concerns included the construction's effect on available groundwater and nutrients.[9]
The Angel Oak is located on John's Island near Charleston, South Carolina. The Angel Oak tree is featured prominently in the book, The Locket, by Emily Nelson.ghost,stories,slave,south,southern,United,states,America,north
