From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

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 estimated to be 300-400 years old, stands 66.5 ft (20 m) tall, measures 25.5 ft (7.7 m) in circumference, and produces shade that covers 17,000 square feet (1,579 m2). The largest limb is 89 feet long and 11.5 feet in circumference.

Thought to be among the oldest living things in the United States of America, the tree stands on land that was part of Abraham Waight's 1717 land grant.

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.
