South Carolina is home to the famous Angel Oak Tree, believed to be one of the oldest living things in the United States. This majestic Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana) is estimated to be over 400-500 years old, with some experts suggesting it could be even older. The tree stands at 65 feet tall and its sprawling canopy provides shade over an area of approximately 17,000 square feet. It's not just its age that's impressive; the Angel Oak is also remarkable for its sheer size and the beauty of its twisting, gnarled branches. It's a beloved symbol of resilience and natural beauty in South Carolina.
