Seven Sisters
Oak
Mandeville,
Louisiana
One of the most
requested trees by Stephen Malkoff collectors is the Seven Sisters Oak
in Mandeville, Louisiana.
The
stately and
renowned
Seven Sisters, is an imposing tree with a girth of 40 feet. It
sits at the edge of Mandeville,
near Lake
Pontchartrain.

Why the "seven
sisters?" For many years it was thought that the tree was actually seven
trees grown closely together. In
fact, it is one tree with seven distinct trunks. It spans more than
130-feet from branch to branch. However, the tree was originally named
the Doby 's Seven Sisters . . . for the seven daughters of the
Doby family.
