Beautiful, I feel the primal urge to climb it.

There’s a witch somewhere looking for her tree.
Oh, is the tree doing some painting? It's got that nice little easel there.
I was there a few years ago ago! It’s huge! The picture is great but in person is still so much better.
Gotta wonder how many people were lynched on it. Is that how it got its name?

[Author] Denise Roffe interviewed an old African American woman, a descendant of slaves who once labored on the land near Angel Oak. She recounted a legend that the tree was home to giant vultures who feasted on the bodies of slaves who were hung from the branches.
Amazing that this tree is 10 quadrillion years old.
I don't know it looks more like an eldritch octopus to me.
