The Leviathan Live Oaks of Audubon Park
Of all the trees I saw in Audubon Park in New Orleans, this enormous oak was one of the most impressive. Surrounded by a thick moat of mud this nicely symmetrical tree must have a spread of over 100 feet. It's made even more impressive when we remember Hurricane Katrina and that this fairly exposed tree survived. Was it always so alone? Did it once have more Spanish moss?
