Live Oak

Stock status: In stock
Country: United Kingdom

Live Oaks are large, strong, and stately evergreens that have become a staple of the American South. This moderate-growing oak can reach a height of 60 ft. to 80 ft. with a spread between 60 ft. to 100 ft. With its height and spread, live oaks make for great shade trees. While the Live Oak is very adaptable, it does require a large area for its spreading trunk to be accommodated. With enough room to grow, however, Live Oaks give one's yard a sense of establishment and history. The wood of the Live Oak is hard, tough, and strong, and the tree also produces sweet, edible acorns. It is hardy to about 5° (Zones 7-10). Live Oaks can survive for centuries and planting one is a small task that can leave a large gift for future generations. The plant is shipped in a #1 pot with a minimum height of 18 in.
