helen99The tree that owns itself
Comemorative plaque
Quercus Alba deeded to itself by Col. William H. Jackson circa 1832...
Apparently this privilege was inherited by its more cosmopolitan children:
"This scion of the original tree was planted the junior ladies garden club in 1946.
National Register of Historic Places 1975
Athens Historical Landmark 1988"
Perhaps I should deed all of my trees to themselves... In order to cut them, future generations would have to enter into stiff negotiations with assorted saplings. This would make my ghost happy.
