you can tell is a pin oak by the way it is
Older (5 years ago) picture with my wife for scale, but is big.
i planted my white oak in 2012, i will never see it that big, but i hope next owner(s) let it grow
I've never seen a pin oak this big, but our tree guy said it's at least 200 years. This guy was here long before us, and barring some tragedy it will be here generations after us. It provides such amazing shade for our home and just just sit under and relax. We are very lucky.
More recent picture better showing scale. Still using wife for scale
