An ancient tree, indeed. The Big Tree, named ‘Texas State Champion Virginia Live Oak’ in 1969, is one of the most famous trees in the state and the country and lies on the Lamar Peninsula in Goose Island State Park. Many have and still do ponder life under its majestic wisdom-born branches. Some studies of The Big Tree have estimated it to be as much as 1,100 years old.
