Live Oaks are large， strong， and stately evergreens that have become a staple of the American South. This fast-growing oak can reach a height of 40-80 feet with a spread between 60-100 feet. With its height and spread， live oaks make for great shade trees. In the warmer growing zones it is considered an evergreen， while in the cooler regions of its tolerance it is considered a semi-evergreen. While the Live Oak is very adaptable， it does require a large area for its spreading trunk to be accommodated. The tree also produces sweet， edible acorns. It is hardy to about 5 degrees or USDA growing zones 7-10. Best growth is made in moist， acid soil， sand， loam， or clay， but the tree is amazingly adapted to drought. It also tolerates alkaline soil well.
