The Trees

This 1.1-acre parcel holds more than 130 mature trees, including an extraordinary 48-inch American Sycamore rooted within the creek buffer. That’s over 100 trees per acre—far denser than typical city lots, and even more concentrated than many of Atlanta’s protected parklands.

Saving these trees isn’t just about beauty. It’s about:

• Roots that prevent erosion

• Canopies that cool the stream and buffer heat

• A living filter for the watershed we all share

Silver Medal Champion Tree
The American Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) on this site was awarded Silver Medal Champion Tree status in 2025.

• Largest Sycamore in Buckhead

• Second-largest Sycamore in the City of Atlanta

• 6th Largest Tree in Buckhead overall

Estimated at 240 years old, this tree likely began its life around the time of the Declaration of Independence. With a typical lifespan of 300 years—and potential to live to 600—it’s a rare living witness to American history.
This isn’t just a tree. It’s a legacy.
