Measuring 421 and a quarter inches in circumference, 44-feet-tall, with a crown spread of 89 feet, this majestic coastal live oak is estimated to be around 1100 years old. From ceremonial rituals held there by the native Karankawas to the exploits of Spanish explorer, Cabeza de Vaca (or so the legends go), this tree has been witness to more than a little Texas history. Though the giant was usurped as the largest live oak in Texas in 2016 by another located on private property in Colorado County, no one standing before it would doubt its supremacy over most if not all trees across Texas.
