Live Oak Trees

Live Oak trees are sturdy, long-lived evergreen oaks native to the southeastern United States. Known for their expansive, spreading branches and dense, dark green leaves, they provide excellent shade and a picturesque landscape. These trees can live for hundreds of years and develop thick, sturdy trunks and impressive, sprawling canopies. Their wood is strong and durable, historically used in shipbuilding. Live oaks are valuable for their ecological importance, offering habitat for wildlife, and their aesthetic appeal, making them popular in parks and as shade trees in historic settings.
