From Lot 5 website:"With regard to the island's storied red oak trees many dodgy and spurious accounts keep circulating as to their current state advanced by quasi-know-alls who postulate the false notion they're in a death spiral due to disease, insect infestation, deforestation or already long dead. Dr. R. V. Harris while researching his book "The Oak Island Mystery" studied the growth rate of red oaks on the island with results that determined a tree with a diameter of 16" was 200 years old. Today Lot Five is home to 28 healthy red oaks that best that mark including over a dozen bona fide old growth specimens boasting diameters from 22” to 36". Every oak on Lot Five has been identified, photographed and tagged for long term study and although the largest of these are now nearing the end of life cycle, their progeny continue to populate the island and are well poised to vanguard the dynasty into perpetuity. They are a robust, handsome tree that will typically attain full height early in life to stake claim to the prized open space above and then will bide the centuries to bulk out their girth. In old age they often end up resembling wonky umbrellas with a wide, flattish canopy atop a long, straightish trunk that through time tends to shed its lower branches. Multitudes of oaks abound around the island, of particular note is a spectacular grove that mirrors the western property line of Lot Nine running its length from the Centre Road down to the shoreline. The species of red oak found on Oak Island is Quercus rubra L."
