Baytown’s Old Oak Tree Stands Through Centuries of Threats
The Old Oak Tree in Baytown, a 300 plus year symbol at Texas Avenue, has faced repeated attempts to remove or harm it. From a 1919 road project plan to 1929 jitney crash deaths and 1950 bid to cut it down, local figures funded preservation efforts. Despite poison in 1989 and later brushes with termites and vehicles, the tree endures today under continued vigilance.
