<\/a><\/td>\nThe Bicentennial Oak<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis famous tree is one of the few that is known to predate the campus.
\nIt was in the yard of the farmhouse which is the building now known as “Old Main”. It’s located in the greenspace in front of Rand Hall.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n![\"State](\"http:\/\/bioimages.vanderbilt.edu\/lq\/baskauf\/w79687.jpg\")
<\/a><\/td>\n\nThe Tennessee state champion Japanese Zelkova tree<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis tree was planted by Bishop McTyeire, who talked Commodore ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø into donating the money to found the university,
\nserved as chair of the board of trust for life, and was instrumental in planting many trees on campus after its founding.
\nIt’s located near the Owen School and the Law Library.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a><\/td>\n\nSouthern red oak<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis giant is the only one of its species on campus and was probably planted soon after the university was started in 1873.
\nIt stands in front of the Nursing School and is noticed by all who walk from Peabody to Main Campus via the pedestrian bridge.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a><\/td>\n\nSeptember elm<\/strong><\/h3>\nSeptember elms are common only in Tennessee and surrounding states.
\nThis tree is probably one of the largest on the planet of its species and is protected from Dutch elm disease by the Vandy tree
\ncrew who keep all dead wood trimmed from the elms on campus. It stands between Benson and Garland Halls.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a><\/td>\n\nThe female persimmon<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn late fall, this tree is one of the few places on campus where you can get a free snack.
\nThe fruit is a bit seedy, but is tasty plain or made into pudding (wash fruit before partaking!).
\nYou can find it in front of Branscomb Quadrangle.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/a><\/td>\n\nGalloway’s ginkgo<\/strong><\/h3>\nGinkgo is also known as the maidenhair tree for the pattern on its distinctive leaves which turn a beautiful yellow in the fall.
\nIt was only known to Europeans as a fossil until they found it on temple grounds in Asia.
\nAccording to The Trees of Vanderbilt<\/a>, Bishop Galloway, brought this one from Asia in the
\nearly 1900’s. However, this big fellow is probably not (as the book says) the progenitor of many area ginkgoes because it’s a male!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n![\"ginkgo](\"http:\/\/bioimages.vanderbilt.edu\/lq\/baskauf\/wgibi2-coseed19346.jpg\")

\nNo, it’s the strange cones of the female cones of the ginkgo squashed on the ground below the tree.
\nWhen most homeowners discover that their ginkgo has grown up to be a stinky female, they cut it down.

\nIt was only known to Europeans as a fossil until they found it on temple grounds in Asia.
\nAccording to The Trees of Vanderbilt<\/a>, Bishop Galloway, brought this one from Asia in the
\nearly 1900’s. However, this big fellow is probably not (as the book says) the progenitor of many area ginkgoes because it’s a male!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a><\/td>\nThe female ginkgo<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt’s late spring and you are wondering, “What’s that awful smell?” Is it vomit?
\nNo, it’s the strange cones of the female cones of the ginkgo squashed on the ground below the tree.
\nWhen most homeowners discover that their ginkgo has grown up to be a stinky female, they cut it down.
\nThat’s why there are only two (surviving) female ginkgos on campus. This one is by the Owen School and the Law Library.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
