Take a look at this tree, we lived on the same street a few years back.

The tree was planted in 1896 by a friend of Thomas Alva Edison with hope of being helpful with the invention of rubber. It was the custom of the time to plant unusual trees to mark the property lines therefore it was planted at the corner of the lot where it still stands today, 113 years later. The tree has grown to a height of over 93', a crown spread of over 130', and a circumference of about 40'. Using the National Register of Big Trees Measuring Guide this tree would be given a total of 606 points. The roots which are the main attraction of the tree have grown to over 6' above ground.
