This cypress on Shell Bank Bayou (St. John the Baptist Parish) is a Louisiana Purchase Cypress Legacy Tree - “Alive in 1803” - based on comparison to other trees we’ve cored throughout Louisiana.
Can you estimate its age and circumference based on the age and circumference of other Cypress Legacy trees we’ve landmarked? (See our registry here of oldest known cypress in each parish for comparison to the Shell Bank Bayou tree).

Please enter your “best guess” estimate in the comment box below We’ll be posting the estimated age based on a circumference measurement and coring sample shortly--early January 2015. Check back!
