Candler Oak Tree

The Candler Oak Tree is located in Savannah, Georgia, United States, and is estimated to have been growing since the 1700s, making it one of the oldest living landmarks in the area.

It is 54 feet (16.5 meters) tall, has a circumference of 17 ft (5.2 m) and a 63-inch (160 cm) diameter.

In 1984, the Savannah Tree Foundation secured the nation's first conservation easement on a single tree and a 6,804-foot (2,074 m) easement was established to protect the Candler Oak from loss to development.

The law school closed and is now owned by Savannah College of Art and Design.
