Or as I like to sometimes call it, the Great Deku Tree.
This MASSIVE Red Oak Tree has to be around 500 years old. It is very difficult to get decent pictures of this tree because it is in the middle of the woods surrounded by other trees that it is hard to get a clear shot. It's so big it takes up the whole camera. The farther away I get, the more trees get in my way. So I made a short video instead of this gigantic behemoth HA HA.

I think it is safe to say that if this tree had a community to take care of it over the years like the Birthing Tree does then this tree would be as big if not BIGGER. They are definitely close to the same age.
These were the best pictures I could take. These were taken on a sunny day and my camera on my phone wouldn't focus. I was trying to get more of the top of the tree where you can see where the top broke off but it wouldn't adjust. An ariel shot might turn out good if you have a drone. I used my hat in these pictures to give you an idea of just how big the trunk of this tree is. My hat looks tiny doesn't it? Hell, even I look tiny standing next to this thing HA HA. We all would!
At least now you can say that there are a couple MASSIVE sized Oak Trees in middle Tennessee.
Happy Tree Tuesday y'all!!!
