 The Live Oak is native to Texas and grows throughout central Texas from Oklahoma to the Gulf Coast. 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 in Texas 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.
