If that tree could talk, i bet it could tell some stories! Does this tree have some sort of history? i was wondering how they know it is 400 years old? Because i'm 79 yrs. old and perry is younger than i am, But he looks a lot older than i do. :yes: :laugh: :laugh:

Nice pictures mike. Charleston is a beautiful place, been there once right after hurricane Hugo went through. The wife has never been there and I’d like to take her before long. If was was to just walk up and look at that tree I’d think it was older than 450 years old, but I am no tree expert. Thanks for sharing.
