Oak Trees And Spanish Moss

Posted by

Since the early 19th century, Savannah planted trees in its streets and squares to provide shade in the summer and beauty the year round, earning it the title of “The Forest City.” Today, its arching live oaks, with picturesquely gothic drapes of Spanish moss, are one of the city’s most charming and typical sights.

The live oak is said to be Savannah’s favorite tree, ornamenting streets, parks and cemeteries across the city. It is also the state tree of Georgia, designated as such in 1937.

There have been wise decisions in that city. We all need trees and forests. They are beautiful to watch and they clean us for breath to breathe.
