The Big Oak, Live oak tree in Thomasville, Georgia, US

The Big Oak extends across 169 feet with a trunk measuring 27.9 feet in circumference and reaches a height of 72 feet.

Dating to 1680, this southern live oak tree became the 49th registered member of the National Live Oak Society in 1936.

The tree stands in Elizabeth Ireland Poe Park, where residents gather for social events, celebrations, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Visitors can capture photographs with the oak using the Big Oak Cam system installed near the tree at Crawford Street and Monroe Street.

The oak required installation of support cables, underground irrigation systems, and maintains a dedicated tree surgeon to ensure its preservation.
