| Botanical Name | Quercus virginiana |
| Description | The Live Oak is an enduring symbol of the South and one of the most reliable shade trees for the Houston metro area. This 30-gallon (30G) specimen is the ideal size for homeowners looking for a balance between ease of planting and immediate landscape presence. It is exceptionally well-adapted to our heavy clay soils and high humidity, boasting legendary wind resistance during Gulf Coast storms. Its thick, leathery green leaves remain on the tree year-round, dropping only briefly in late winter. With a canopy that can eventually span wider than the tree is tall, it is the ultimate "legacy tree" for Texas properties. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 40-60' Height x 60-100' Width |
| Water | Moderate; requires regular deep watering to establish its extensive root system. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and resilient. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy canopy development and strong root growth. |
| Pruning | Prune during the hottest part of summer or coldest part of winter to minimize the risk of Oak Wilt. Pruning is mainly needed to remove dead wood and establish good structure. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
