Inscription.
The Apalachicola Harbor Live Oak stands at the site of an important Confederate port, blockaded by Union ships during the Civil War. The port, located southwest of Tallahassee, Florida, was a central shipping point for cotton, one of the South’s trade staples during the war. The port was cut off, however, by a successful Union blockade. As a result, the South lost a major source of foreign funding for its war effort. This tree grew from a seed taken from the Apalachicola Harbor Live Oak.
