ENTS,
Hello all, I
went to the South Ms. Regional Center located in Long Beach,
Ms. to measure the E.O Hunt Live Oak. The tree is a double
stemmed
specimen, with massive limbs touching the ground in all
directions and
has a gigantic spread.
What a magnificent tree! Growing in an open setting adjacent to
the
Centers many buildings. The tree is approx. one quarter to one
half of a
mile from the Gulf Of Mexico. The Oak was
registered in 1966 and is
the second largest Live Oak in the state. CBH- 37', Spread-170',
and
Height 45'. Making it the largest and widest tree I have ever
seen and
measured!
Another Live
Oak adjacent to the E.O. Hunt Oak is the Sara
Hunt Oak, it measures CBH-26'7", Spread- 136.5', and
Height- 51. Both
of these Oaks are very healthy and well loved by all at the
Center.
