live oak
Spreading southeastern tree
Live oak is any of several American oak trees that retain green leaves year-round rather than dropping them in fall.
The southern live oak, with its massive spreading branches often draped in Spanish moss, is iconic to coastal landscapes from Virginia to Texas: The plantation house stood behind a row of ancient live oaks.
