Cemetery Oak

USA / Texas / Houston /
 park, tree

One of Houston's Largest Live Oaks.

Houston has many beautiful examples of Live Oak Trees, but one of the most beautiful specimens is near the SE corner of Glenwood. The spread of the tree comes close to that of the Goose Island Oak in Rockport, the Champion Live Oak in Texas. The branching pattern is "text book", growing conditions are ideal and if your compost is as rich, then the police might want to talk to you. Recently the tree has been cabled, which detracts from it’s natural elegance, but it’s a precaution that is usually thought of too late.
