This is growing at the base of my willow oak of significant size

[Dale614]

I have a very large tree in my front yard I’m Greensboro NC  I’ve lived here since 1999 and it’s a good bit bigger now .  It’s hard to guess at age because it’s been hat racked (before I owned the house) and is next to power lines so it gets side shaved often.  I do think it’s older than the house (1951) because of the scar that faces the house.’so my guess is it was hacked back when the house was built it’s a wonder it came back at all.    
 

so when u say oof significant size  it is 

At end of buttressing 176”   14’ 8”

 

@ 4’ from earth at trunk  161”  13’ 5”
