View Remarkable Trees of Indianapolis

 

 

   
Submission by:  Lindsey Purcell
Species Common Name:  Chinkapin Oak
Species Scientific Name: Quercus muehlenbergii
Tree Category:  Unique
Significance of Tree: You don't just buy trees like this anywhere!  This example of a Chinkapin Oak is somewhat unique in form.  Specifically, I like the compact shape of the crown.  It is estimated this tree is over 200 years old!  Thank goodness it is in a park environment.
Address of Tree:  Sahm Park, in the disc golf course off of E. 91st St.
