Estimated to be around 1,400 years old, the Angel Oak Tree in Charleston, South Carolina, is one of the oldest and most magnificent living oaks in the United States. This Southern live oak isn’t just a tree — it’s a living monument that has silently watched centuries of history unfold.
Its longest limb stretches an astonishing 89 feet, and its sprawling canopy covers about 160 feet, casting shade over an area of more than 17,000 square feet. It has endured countless hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and the relentless march of time.
