Escarpment Live Oak aka Plateau Live Oak aka Texas Live Oak (Quercus Fusiformis)
801 Lipan Highway (FM 4), Granbury, Texas
Rooted on private property but overhanging a state highway.
In 2006, circumference 389in, Height 57 feet, avg span 107 feet
points 473. This is larger than the listed National Champion.
The current National Champion is 432 points, but when the tree shown here was submitted, a previous Big Tree Measurement rule requiring no forks below 4.5 feet had been removed only recently. Texas Forest Service was reluctant to accept a tree branching at 3 feet so quickly after the rule change.
