how old is the cummer museum
The Cummer Oak (Live oak/ Quercus virginiana) is estimated to be between 175 and 200 years old. It has a spread of 150 feet. The gallery nearest the oak is built on pilings to protect the treeâs root system. Live oaks are a long lived native tree in the southern United States with spreading heavy limbs. Old leaves are shed in spring before new growth emerges.
