BRUNSWICK. The region of Southern Coastal Georgia that is home to Brunswick and the Golden Isles has long been rich in trees, notably the mighty live oak tree. Many trees from this area were used in the building of famous battleships. This large and historic specimen in the heart of old town Brunswick has a storied history. It is said that Native American tribesmen and maidens would meet and kiss their true love under the branches of the tree, hence earning its moniker. While locals claim the tree is upwards of 900 years old, scientists question its real age. No matter, travelers to the region flock to the famous site to have their picture taken beneath the thick, overhanging branches.
