Quercus virginiana
The live oak is a medium to large-sized tree, 40-50 feet in height, 3-4 feet in diameter. It has a broad, buttressed base which branches close to the ground in a few massive, wide-spreading limbs, forming a broad, low, dense, round-topped crown.
The live oak grows on sandy soils along the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains. It is found from coastal Virginia south through southern Mississippi and Louisiana; west to west-central Texas. It is also found in Mexico and Cuba.
