Archive: Angel Oak, Johns Island, Charleston County, South Carolina

This massive and majestic oak is said to be over 1,500 years old. Named after former owners Martha and Justis Angel it is probably our countries oldest live oak tree. It stands only 68 feet high but the area of shade covers 17,000 square feet! The longest limb is 89 feet long. Just 12 miles from Charleston it is worth the visit.

Located near the intersection of the Maybank Highway and Bohicket Road / Main Road on Johns Island, SC. Latitude 32.71727, Longitude -79.91917
