“The Century Tree, located on the Texas A&M campus, is a place that holds a special place in the heart of many Aggies. Well over 100 years old, the tree was one of the first trees planted on Texas A&M’s campus. The beautiful live oak has been the site of countless Aggie marriage proposals, weddings, and tourist snapshots because of its immense size and its unique drooping branches, many of which rest on the ground. Tradition says that if a couple walks together underneath the Century Tree, they will eventually marry — and if a marriage proposal takes place under the tree, the marriage will last forever.” To add to the lore of this romantic story located on the property we have saplings of the Century Tree. Hatched directly from the fallen acorns of the Century Tree and lovingly propagated by both Don and Paula House. Although Don and Paula employed slightly different propagation techniques, they were both able to nurse seedlings to the sapling stage. Don admits that Paula’s technique was more successful, yielding more seedlings per acorn than his technique. Some couples have received seedlings of their own to plant at there first home.
