Boyington Oak, Historic oak tree at Church Street Cemetery, Mobile, United States
The Southern live oak stands outside the cemetery wall, marking the burial site of Charles Boyington, a printer convicted of murder in 1835.
Charles Boyington was executed for the murder of Nathaniel Frost in 1835, declaring before death that an oak would grow from his grave to prove his innocence.
The oak tree has evolved into a central element of Mobile's folklore, drawing visitors who seek to understand the complex tale of justice and redemption.
Located at coordinates 30.6861, -88.0515, the tree remains accessible to the public who wish to examine this natural monument during cemetery opening hours.
Prior to his execution, Boyington stated that an oak with hundred roots would emerge from his grave, and the tree indeed sprouted at that exact location.
