Healthy Bur Oak


Circumference 13' 8"
Height 65'
Canopy 80' & 80'
Points 252

This urban tree has grown into a wolf tree. The housing was built in the 60's so I assume the park was cleared of most of the trees at that time.  In the last part of this trees life, there has been no close competition.  I think that is why the height is not very high.

The tree has grown the lower branches out to get light. If a tree had others growing by it the tree would grow taller to get more light.

The tree seems to be at peace.

Psalm 4:8
"In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety."

Tomorrow I will post an oak tree that has grown in close quarters with other competition.
