Plano's Quadricentennial Bur Oak Has Fallen

We’re heartbroken to report the stormy weather we experienced this week caused one of North Texas' true treasures to fall. The Quadricentennial Bur Oak, located in Bob Woodruff Park was widely known as the oldest and largest tree in Plano and North Texas.
The tree stood 90 feet high with a circumference of 15 and a half feet. Arborists believe the giant Bur Oak was more than four centuries old. It’s hard to imagine all the history this tree has witnessed. It was here when the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787.
