Located on Johns Island, about 20 minutes from downtown Charleston, SC, the Angel Oak is figured to be one of the oldest living southern live oaks in the region, with an estimated age off somewhere between 400 and 500 years.
In addition to being one of the oldest trees in the southeast, Charleston’s Angel Oak Tree is also one of the largest. It measures up to 65 feet tall at its peak, with its branches reaching a circumference of over 26 feet, with a shaded area covering over 17,000 square feet.
