Duffie Oak, Historic oak tree in Mobile, Alabama.
The Duffie Oak measures 30 feet in circumference, reaches 48 feet in height, and extends its branches across 126 feet of space.
Named after George A. Duffee, a former mayor of Mobile, this 300-year-old Southern live oak received recognition from the National Arborist Association in 1977.
The tree represents a focal point of community activism, as residents successfully prevented its removal during the construction of an apartment complex.
Visitors can find this massive tree in the 1100 block of Caroline Street, behind an apartment building in a neighborhood of early 1900s houses.
The branches of this Southern live oak stretch over the street and touch the ground before rising again, creating natural spaces for climbing.
