5 Seeds Live Oak Tree Quercus virginiana
Live Oak is a majestic, long-lived shade tree prized for its wide-spreading canopy and evergreen foliage, native to the southeastern United States and well suited to spacious landscapes, parks, and avenue plantings.
The acorns and dense canopy offer ornamental and wildlife value, and the tree's strong, rot-resistant wood is traditionally used in furniture and shipbuilding; growth is slow to moderate, eventually forming a broad, rounded crown over many decades.
