If I remember correctly, reading that those trees were planted by the owner in honor of the birth of his son in the 1800? So, I looked it up and here is what it said. " Wormsloe's mile and half allée is lined with 400 live oak trees, planted by Wymberley Jones De Renne in 1891."

Thanks, Dan. This was our first trip to the SE and we had a great time in Charleston and Savannah. The Hearse Ghost Tour was an absolute blast.

Thanks for background on the trees Carol. IMO, this place may rival the Dark Hedges in N. Ireland. Somewhat spiritual to see the slight breeze moving the Spanish Moss in the upper reaches.

Great image and fascinating information from all.
Hey Bob....I've just read a few of your other posts here this morning and concluded you must live in the area. We had a great time there last week. I tried 'She Crab' soup for the first time at a little restaurant near Angel Oak....great place with some good food.

Thanks Al, I didn't realize Wormsloe was near Savannah - added to my list!

Hi Al, I have not seen the Dark Hedges in person only in Harry Potter.;o) I did not go to Northern Ireland...only southern, I spent more time in Scotland and all of that was long before HP.
