480 year old tree in Wrexham wins tree of the year award.

A pretender. The real Moreton Bay Fig Tree is in Santa Barbara.

To use that name for the usurper in Ventura is like using the “The Avengers” name for Marvel's absurd comic-book based pretenders, not one of which, nor all of them combined, are worthy to polish John Steed's shoes.

That is certainly the only one that I knew about.

It's not in Ventura. It's in Santa Barbara. Anyone who is from that area knows that. It's next to the freeway, not far from West Beach.

Actually, it's out on Johns Island...

It is considered to be the largest Live Oak Tree east of the Mississippi.

I suppose the tree in Alameda is a usurper also.

Well, and I hate to be the one to break this to you, that's the name of the species. They can be found all over central and southern California.. Los Angeles, San Diego, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Anaheim...

Yes, it does. Never thought about it before...

My favorite tree!!
The Live Oak!!
We had one at our weekend place that was huge and had all the drop branches like the one in your photo.
Easiest tree I've ever climbed.

Its worth a look but there are better trees in the area. There is a Spanish Oak in the Wynnstay Park that is an amazing tree. Sadly there is no picture online.

Congrats on your award, Tommy!

The right Tree thread in "Garden and Landscaping" would work.

You're better off talking about trees, Tommy. Anything to do with history, politics or economics and you come across as a bit of an idiot. Just saying...

He comes across as an idiot, even talking about trees or other things of no importance, but at least that way, he comes across as a more benign idiot.
