This is the Oak Tree beside the rock wall where Andy left the cookie can for Red
Andy picked this site as this was where he had a picnic years ago with his wife under the Oak Tree. Note that the rock wall was a movie prop and does not exist

Wikipedia Shawshank Redemption
The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.
Adapted from the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, the film portrays the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who spends nearly two decades in Shawshank State Prison for the murder of his wife, although he is innocent. During his time at the prison, he befriends a fellow inmate, Ellis "Red" Redding, and finds himself protected by the guards after the warden begins using him in his money laundering operation.
Despite a lukewarm box office reception that was barely enough to cover its budget, the film received favorable reviews from critics, multiple award nominations, and has since enjoyed a remarkable life on cable television, VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray, even being included in the American Film Institute's100 Years…100 Movies 10th Anniversary Edition.
