Largest Oak on our property destroyed by Hurricane Helene


Like many others, my family home was significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene and sadly we lost almost all of our large oak trees on the property. This tree was our largest and based on its circumference could have been around 239 years old. I have so much grief and sadness looking at the third picture, but we plan to save a slice of it to make a dinning room table (it will become a family heirloom) and hopefully count it's rings to see it's exact age and history

    You can do what my family did and have an eagle or bear carved out of it

    Can’t tell from pics, but if it didn’t snap and still has a root ball, maybe it could be uprighted? Florida does this with banyan trees after hurricanes.
