Have you ever heard of Cow Oak?

The prospect of visiting this Torreya State Park that DanG talks about has really perked up dendrological brain cells (which is most of them).  I've always wanted to see them growing in the wild.

DL,

I have never seen dendrological brain cells growing in the wild, either ;D.

It is with notable sadness that I relate, having checked with the service, our magnificent Magnolia was "withdrawn" some 10 yrs. ago.   :'(

[WDH]

That is sad.  Maybe there is another big one somewhere over there ???.

There is one which took the place of the previous champ, but it is not near the area.

However, in the Big Creek area, where my buddy was withdrawn, it is recognized for its richness in species of others as well as Magnolias.  'Surprisingly' so, that part of the trail is known as "Magnolia Loop".

I was concerned, once I had got to thinking about it again, that there might be possibility of its withdrawal.  It had a large hollow, which would easily accomodate a human creature.  I know one who had spent quite a bit of time in there.   ;)

That gives a new meaning to "OneWithWood" :D.

Perhaps, not so much a new meaning.  Rather, application of one rather old.   ;)
