The Angel Oak is alive oak (Quercus virginiana),
a native tree species found throughout the
lowcountry. Believed to be in excess of 1400
years old, its massive, draping limbs and wide
spreading canopy present the aura of an angel but
the naming of this tree was acquired from
the tree's previous owners, Martha & Justis Angel.
