live oaks
Evergreen spreading trees
Live oaks are evergreen oak trees native to the southeastern United States, distinguished from other oaks by keeping their leaves year-round rather than dropping them in autumn.
They grow broad, spreading canopies and are iconic features of Southern landscapes, often draped with Spanish moss: The old plantation was shaded by massive live oaks.
