The Bender Oak is a naturally occurring hybrid of a Red and Scarlet Oak. Because it pre-dates the college, its exact age is not known. According to Andrew Bunting, curator for the Scott Arboretum, trees like the Bender Oak were providers of shade for livestock at a time when much of Swarthmore and its surrounding areas were all farmland.

Yay! I love this tree- I've always called it the To Kill A Mockingbird tree cause you can SOOOO see Boo Radley putting some goods in there.
(But what will Scout and Jem do with all that junk, all that junk inside that trunk?)
(I love myself, a little.)
ANYWAY. I'm so glad they aren't getting rid of it.
