Wye Oak, Historic white oak tree in Wye Mills, United States
The white oak tree measured 32 feet in circumference with a height of 96 feet and spread its crown across 119 feet.
Starting from an acorn in 1540, the tree stood through colonial times until a thunderstorm brought it down in June 2002.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources designated this specimen as the State Tree, inspiring the creation of the National Champion Trees program.
Visitors can explore the 29-acre Wye Oak State Park, which includes a colonial-era schoolhouse and displays a preserved 35-ton branch segment.
Scientists have successfully cloned the tree, with seedlings now growing at Mount Vernon and within the remains of the original trunk.
