Named because the original tree is growing in  Bloomington, Illinois, Earl Cully found this healthy three-hundred year old tree and gave three of the trees he propagated from it to local arborist Mike Hayman. Mike planted one of these oaks on the grounds of Whitehall Historic Home in the Crescent Hill Neighborhood. The original tree is 90 feet tall and 150 feet wide, giving it the typical architecture of a live oak (Quercus virginiana). TreesLouisville also planted two of these trees in Seneca Park.
