Treaty Oak

At first glance, it looks like a small forest is growing in the middle of the concrete on Jacksonville's south side, but upon closer inspection you'll see that the "forest" is really one single enormous tree, with a trunk circumference of 25ft and a shade diameter of nearly 200ft. According to local lore, the live oak tree is the oldest thing in Jacksonville – it's estimated to be at least 250 years.
