Charleston tree #1 (already SOLVED: willow oak)

[Lanier_Lurker]

During Spring Break of 2007 (14 months ago) my wife an I went to Charleston.  We visited Magnolia Plantation on the Ashley River.

This is not a request for assistance with a tree id - I already know what it is.  However, the size of this tree is truly amazing - and I thought this would be the best area to post this picture.

In this photo, my wife is 15 to 20 feet closer to me than the tree.  I estimated the dbh to be between 6 and 7 feet.

It is a huge willow oak (Quercus phellos).  From a distance one would have thought this was just another of the massive live oaks found here.

Those bottomland willow oaks get big!
