ODESSA, Texas — The Marriott Event Garden area at the Odessa hotel was bestowed a special gift on Thursday.
Prairie Chapel Ranch, the property belonging to George W. Bush in Crawford, donated local Texas trees for the newly established hotel and conference center.
Among those new additions includes a hand-selected red oak tree with a trunk
caliper measuring 14 inches in diameter and a canopy spread of 24 feet.
The tree is roughly 23 feet tall and weighs over 18,000 pounds.
"It's pretty exciting, in fact, most of the trees on this property came from the George Bush ranch. This was actually the first tree ever planted on that ranch," Eoff said.
The hotel will have a resort style pool and the opening celebration will include live music and entertainment.
