It was an iconic symbol for many motorists travelling Highway 102 between Halifax and Truro.
Many Nova Scotians say the Shubenacadie Tree has stood for 300 years but even the long-standing red oak couldn't withstand the power of post-tropical storm Fiona.
Hurricane-strength winds felled the much-admired tree which has been photographed by thousands of both professional and amateur shutterbugs.
As renowned Nova Scotia photographer Len Wagg, tweeted, “our favourite tree in the province is gone.”
