Along Pierson's Creek Tail at Holden Arboretum, just east of the north stairs, is this magnificent Red Oak. It is about 5 feet in diameter and goes up over 100 feet. I call these old trees, Grandfather trees. Having seen pictures of our NE Ohio forests before the settlers cut them down, I wonder what it would have been like to be in a forest filled with trees like this?
