Basking Ridge Oak Tree Community Video Photo Album
Did you send us your photo yet? We will make another version, so keep them coming.
On April 24-26, 2017, the New Jersey town of Basking Ridge lost its oldest resident, the historic white oak tree. What was estimated to be over 600 years old, no one ever imagined that the tree would die during their lifetime, and it came as quite a shock to the entire community. We reached out to the community on our Facebook Page, asking for any photos to add to our Basking Ridge Oak Tree photo album. This video is our latest version.

The Basking Ridge White Oak Tree (Quercus alba), also known as the Great White Oak, is a symbol of pride in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. It is situated right in the center of downtown Basking Ridge, just to the right of the historic 1717 Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church. The tree was, and remains, the essence of the history of Basking Ridge, a hamlet of Bernards Township, New Jersey. The tree was cut down in April 2017.
