Live Oak
Scientific Name: Quercus virginiana
The Live Oak is an extremely beautiful tree with a wide spreading canopy. Live
Oak trees have magnificent horizontal arching branches that tend to dip to the
ground and some of the most unique Live Oaks have branches that rest on
the ground. Live Oak trees have a dense canopy with elliptical leaves, 2 to 5
inches long, that are stiff and leathery. Live Oak leaves have a dark green
and waxy surface with a lighter grayish green color underneath. Live Oak
trees shed their leaves every year in the spring which are quickly followed by
new leaves giving Live Oaks an evergreen appearance. Younger Live Oak
trees have light gray bark that is smooth and as Live Oak trees mature their
bark becomes dark gray to black with ridges and furrows. Live Oak trees are
amazingly adapted to drought and grow best on clay loams.
Common Names: Live Oak, Coastal Live Oak, Virginia Live Oak, Southern
Live Oak
Growth rate is 2.5' per year. Mature size is 50' tall and 60' wide.
