Type: Oak
Age:
Seriously massive tree. The Botanic Garden has installed supporting cables to help suspend the incredibly long lower limbs. The horizontal stretch of these limbs must be close to the tree's vertical height. It's hard to imagine how the tree can physically support the weight of all this mass, even with cables.
The tree is in a spot, not far from the springs, that has been enjoyed as a shady, cool resting place by people and animals throughout Fort Worth's entire history.
Sorry, I have not uncovered the age yet. I'll update once I do.
