Common Name: Compton oak
Scientific Name: Quercus comptoniae
Category: Champion (big) tree
Comments: This tree used to be identified as a Darlington Oak, but I hear now that it is some other kind of evergreen oak, but I don't know which. It is well known, because it stands in Market Square in Colonial Williamsburg and has a spread of way over 100 feet, and is frequently climbed by children who are photographed by their parents in the lower branches.
