The Oak That Climbed the Palm, Cumberland Island's by zrusseff

Cumberland Island - United States, Georgia Looks like this oak tree sprouted legs and climbed the palm tree which depicts the complex ecological make-up of the flora and fauna of the island. The island is made up of saltwater marshes, pines trees, hard-wood forest, live oak, maritime forest with a variety of palms trees, sand dunes, beaches and worth a visit to see for yourself what I might have missed.

davidx - Mar, 25 2008 08:03am What an interesting picture. What ever sort of oak tree is it? zrusseff - Mar, 25 2008 12:03pm David, it is a live oak - from what the ranger said, live oak trees don't lose their leaves during the winter. Thanks. davidx - Mar, 25 2008 01:03pm Thanks. I'd never heard of a live oak, although we have a form of evergreen oak in the UK. You may find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_oak interesting. marianne - Mar, 26 2008 02:03pm were there many trees like this in this spot? Looks very strange. I like your comment to the photo, I would never have guessed what it was aufgehts - Mar, 30 2008 08:03pm That is really cool.....I missed that on my trip there! zrusseff - Mar, 30 2008 11:03pm Jill, it was in front of the carriage house not far from the automobile grave yard; however, if you didn't take the same trail we did then you could have easily missed it.
