I grew up on this property and played around the base of this tree when young. The Hillside Oak is more than just a tree to me and more like family. Growing up in and around this tree only helped me appreciate the natural world. Granted is not as big as the Granby Oak in Connecticut but still a very good representative for its species and to a little boy it was the largest living thing in the world. I had the state come out to measure it some years ago and enter it into the Massachusetts Champion Tree Program. The Hillside Oak canopy is roughly 151” in circumference, 60’ tall and with an average spread of 73’. What makes this tree really stand out is how it is growing around a huge glacial erratic. (I surmise it is a glacial erratic) If anyone is curious to view the tree drop me a line.
