Description

Durand White Oak found NE of FM-1459 near Danciger TX, along a treeline. It is located on private land, but can be observed to some degree from the nearby public road. Magnificent specimen; height estimated at 65'. Trunk Circumference (breast height) was measured as 117”. Three smaller specimens of this species were located within several hundred yards, on the same side of FM-1459, and many large specimens are found nearby. This species is rather uncommon and poorly known in Brazoria County, so is reported here. County champ?
