In 1887 Annie E.K. Bidwell named this huge oak tree after
English botanist Sir Joseph Hooker. When it fell in a windstorm
in 1977 it was estimated to be over a thousand years old and
was nearly a hundred feet (100') from trunk to tip. The circumference
of outside branches was nearly five hundred feet (500').
