The Love Tree is a must do when you're visiting St. Augustine. My sweetheart and I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Ms. Margaret. She is awesome! We chatted and shared like old friends. We decorated a heart for the arbor, and she added it to all the rest of the beautiful hearts. Then she took pics of us kissing in front of the tree. So now, as the story goes, we will love each other through eternity! ❤

Solidified our love at the famous love tree in old St Augustine for our 4 year anniversary! I would like to mention here that there doesn’t seem to be a vender to sell the copper hearts that you write your names on and hang on the gable. So, if you want to write your name on a copper heart I would bring the heart yourself and some wire to tie it on with.

my boyfriend and I took a ghost tour here. I loved the idea of the tree and it was a great place for a picture. Will be back in the future for an anniversary!

The Love Tree stands as a timeless and iconic landmark in the heart of St. Augustine, embodying a rich history and cultural significance that has made it an enduring symbol for both locals and visitors alike. Its presence not only adds a touch of natural beauty to the surroundings but also weaves a narrative that resonates with the essence of the community.

Nice to hear the story or stories behind this love tree. A sable palm (lady) whose trunk is wrapped by the trunk of a massive oak (man).

Cute to see, not a reason to visit Saint Augustine but worth walking by while you're there.

Very nice the church was awesome. Great place looking forward to coming back

Love trees, two different species of trees intertwined, are scattered around the St. Augustine area. Legend has it, if you kiss your sweetie under a Love Tree you will have everlasting love. Aww! This one in particular is in front of a Cheesecake place. Cheesecake, wine, and my sisters from another mister.. it was meant to be! Romantic date night idea, proposal perhaps? Congrats in advance!

Loved learning about The Love Tree. Apparently there are 8 in St. Augustine so it makes for a fun scavenger hunt to find all of them. If you kiss your loved one under the tree, your love will last forever. Because my husband wasn't with me, 4 other soulmates/soul sistahs and I took advantage of the opportunity and got under the tree together... friends forever perhaps? I sure hope so. It's already been forever it seems, so forevermore isn't a long shot. :) Perk of finding this tree? It's right in front Bar Harbor Cheesecake Company!

I thought there were locks on it but it's an oak tree that is hugging a palm tree. Make sure to kiss your sweaty under the tree for good luck.

Really fascinating site to see! Very rare natural occurrence. Legend says if you kiss your significant other under this tree you were be forever entwined.

So many cities have their local spots that boast the bewitching powers of keeping lovers together or in love forever by a visit to the spot. In this case, a kiss under the tree is said to seal the fate for lovers. The tree possesses such powers because a palm tree is growing right up through the middle of the trunk of an oak tree. The palm is designated by a yellow trunk. Copper hearts can even be bought to be affixed to the trellise next to the tree. There are said to be seven, but this location on Cordova is the most famous.

I found this place on Yelp during a visit to St. Augustine with my boyfriend. We thought it would be a cute idea to visit the tree. The tree and the hearts are still at this location, but the house appears to be abandoned. It still was fun, as we made the most of it, but just be aware.

Location is closed but still a chance for some great photos and putting that spell into action.
