These are Live Oak trees that reside on personal property on Daniel Island, and not in public areas. These owners have registered their trees with the Daniel Island Historical Society, which has in turn registered the trees with the national Live Oak Society. If you have a Live Oak on your property that you would like to have documented by DIHS, please send us an email at dihistoricalsociety@gmail.com. THANK YOU!
We have created adoption designation levels for each tree based on its circumference. Trees that are between 8′ and 12′ are ACORNS ($75 donation); trees between 12′ and 16′ are EVERGREENS ($100 donation); and trees 16′ and over are CENTENARIANS ($150 donation).
The minimum circumference requirement for registration with the national Live Oak Society is 8 feet
