On my recent trip to Savannah, Georgia for the NC Realtors Convention (I know why is the NC convention in Georgia) I took an extra day for a little sight seeing. I stumbled across this magnificent tree - it's called the Chandle Oak. It's a live Oak. I also learned where the expression 'Don't let the bed bugs bite' originated - in the early days the spanish moss that grows in the trees was used to stuff pillows - only problem - the moss is full of bugs!
Back to the tree -
It's estimated to be over 270 years old.
Has a circumference of 16 feet
Height of 50'
170' Crown Spread
