    such a cool tree!!! i even went to google to see if you could see it on the satelite view… i found the Angel Tree Playground… but really couldn’t tell which tree it was from above… maybe i was expecting too much? you have a great photo of the tree… it’s fabulous!!

  • Kent Burton replied

    Thanks so much for the visit and kind words! – This tree is located just south of Charleston, South Carolina just about 1/4th mile south off the road to Keowa Island Golf resort. It is about 2-3 acres fenced in with a few picnic tables and grills and a gift shop. It was named after the original land owners whose last name was Angel. Really an amazing sight!! – Have a wonderful week! – Kent
