Pecan Marker Tree….
A couple of hundred years ago Native American Indians used trees to mark trails and clean water sources. On a ranch that we just listed in West Kerr County, we found the best example of a marker tree that I have ever seen. And true to the legend, there was a pristine, clear water spring, close by.
This is a Pecan tree that the Indians bent over as a sapling. By burning the tree at the bend they were able to make it hold its shape. It is pointing directly toward the spring.
This tree is marking a spring West of Kerrville
