That really is a great tree.

I was going to comment something similar, but instead, I'll just bump your comment up

There is a perfect spot to build a tiny gnome house in amongst the roots in that picture. That would look so cute!

It really would, We have considered it and talked about adding one, but decided that its natural beauty shouldn't be messed with.

you can tell is a pin oak by the way it is

Older (5 years ago) picture with my wife for scale, but is big.

i planted my white oak in 2012, i will never see it that big, but i hope next owner(s) let it grow

I've never seen a pin oak this big, but our tree guy said it's at least 200 years. This guy was here long before us, and barring some tragedy it will be here generations after us. It provides such amazing shade for our home and just just sit under and relax. We are very lucky.

More recent picture better showing scale. Still using wife for scale
