Been past that tree many times when I was young. Shame it's going but
that's what nature does. Heard they have saplings from it already 5-10
feet tall to start a replacement. Thanks for sharing the news.
Must be a large white oak there.
Around here, large white oaks are also massive.
18' in circumference meaning less than 3' in diameter!
If measured correctly, at chest height - it is a reasonable tree.

No biggie to a Californian. I see our oak tree is still standing:

That sucker is HUGE! The trunk was at least 5 ft dia way back over
half a century ago when I went to jr high. I'm surprised it's still
standing. Huge oak trees are no biggie in CA. The state is lousy
with 'em. ;)
