Quercus virginiana, also known as the southern live oak, is a normally evergreen oak tree native to the southeastern United States. Though many other species are loosely called live oak, the southern live oak is particularly iconic of the Old South.
A large number of common names are used for this tree, including "Virginia live oak", "bay live oak", "scrub live oak", "plateau oak", "plateau live oak", "escarpment live oak", and (in Spanish) "encino". It is also often just called "live oak" within its native area, but the full name "southern live oak" helps to distinguish it from other live oaks, a general term for any evergreen species of oak.
This profusion of common names partly reflects an ongoing controversy about the classification of various live oaks, in particular its near relatives among the white oaks (Quercus subgenus Quercus, section Quercus). Some authors recognize as distinct species the forms others consider to be varieties of Quercus virginiana. Notably, the following two taxa, treated as species in the Flora of North America, are treated as varieties of southern live oak by the United States Forest Service: the Texas live oak, Quercus fusiformis (Q. virginiana var. fusiformis) and the sand live oak, Quercus geminata (Q. virginiana var. geminata).
Live oak or evergreen oak is a general term for a number of unrelated oaks in several different sections of the genus Quercus that share the characteristic of evergreen foliage.
The name live oak comes from the fact that evergreen oaks remain green and "live" throughout winter, when other oaks are dormant and leafless. The name is used mainly in North America, where evergreen oaks are widespread in warmer areas along the Atlantic coast from southeast Virginia and North Carolina to Florida, west along the Gulf Coast to Louisiana and Texas, and across the southwest to California and southwest Oregon.
Evergreen oak species are also common in parts of southern Europe and Asia, and are included in this list for the sake of completeness. These species, although not having "live" in their common names in their countries of origin, are colloquially called live oaks when cultivated in North America.
When the term live oak is used in a specific rather than general sense, it most commonly refers to the southern live oak (Quercus virginiana), the first species so named, and an icon of the Old South, but can often refer to other species regionally.

Documentation of a possible record-setting Live Oak tree. The Spooner Live Oak is located in Seminole County, Georgia. It is my (Steve Cross') belief that it is the Biggest Live Oak in the World. Although we had two Georgia Foresters measuring this tree in July 2015, they (Georgia Foresters) wanted to call-in The American Forestry Association for further measurements. Time will tell!
Live Oak Trees are the oldest living inhabitants on the Islands of Saint Simon's and growing around the Cloister at Sea Island, Ga. These Live Oak trees can grow for hundreds of years old and tower above all other plant life at St. Simon's Island and covering the resort at Sea Island, GA, where they grow as huge evergreen trees, native trees to the Southern United States. These giant Live Oak trees also grow well in MS, LA and Texas.

ISA Certified Arborist Ray Taylor of Taylor Tree Co, in Pass Christian, MS describes how we are assisting a Live Oak with it's abnormalities and how we are keeping it healthy. Diagnosis of a sick tree - Our Arborist has over 30 years of hands on experience and the education to diagnose tree health problems and recommend treatments. Fertilization - Although trees grow quite well in the forest without supplemental fertilization, urban and suburban soils may lack the vital nutrients that trees need. Many tree service companies offer fertilization as one of many plant health care practices. Tree Value Estimates - Give us a call in cases of catastrophic loss, legal disputes, or simple assessments, or when an appraisal of a tree's value is sometimes required.

Visualizing Sudden Oak Death: Part 2—Slow decline in coast live oaks: intermediate resistance This video is part 2 of a series of 4 videos that illustrate and describe symptoms of sudden oak death in northern California. Sudden oak death is a lethal disease that affects several species of oaks and tanoak. Parts 1 through 3 describe different disease outcomes that occur in coast live oak, Quercus agrifolia. Part 4 describes disease symptoms and outcomes in tanoak, Notholithocarpus (=Lithocarpus) densiflorus. These videos were originally prepared for the e-conference "Visualizing Sudden Oak Death", February 10 - February 21, 2014, sponsored by the California Oak Mortality Task Force (http://suddenoakdeath.org). The field research that formed the basis for these videos was conducted by Eli...

Airs March 28, 29, 31; April 2, 3 Jerk baits are famous for triggering vicious strikes from largemouth and smallmouth bass alike. There’s nothing tentative or half-hearted about the hit. Imitating a baitfish, especially a shiner, jerk baits light up fat, lazy bass like a mouse squirting past a cat. Shaw and his guest Maria Orlando-Krick fish these fast-action baits on the scenic ponds of Live Oak Plantation, in southern Georgia.

Just south of Donalsonville, GA is a beautiful Live Oak that has provided shade and a place to rest over the years for workers at the Spooner Farm. This tree is currently the Co-Champion Live Oak in GA tied with the Waycross Live Oak. We got to watch and learn how they measure trees of the Champion Live Oak category. Thank you Steve Cross and everyone who participated in having this event.

There's a man who walks beside me
It is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him
and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pinin' for
on nights I'm not around
Could it be the man who did the things
I'm living now?
I was rougher than a timber
shippin' out of Fond du Lac
When I headed south at 17
ol' sheriff on my back
I never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze
So I found another victim every couple days
But the night I fell in love with her
I made my weakness known
Through the fires and the farmers diggin' dusty fields alone
The jealous innuendos of the lonely hearted men
Let me know what kind of country I was sleeping in
Well you couldn't stay a loner
on the plains before the war
My neighbors had been slightin' me
I had to ask what for
Rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town
Soon she'd heard about the boys I used to hang around
We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter,
killed a couple men or more
And I told her her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword
All the things that she'd suspected
I'd expected her to fear
Was the truth that drew her to me when I landed here
There's a man who walks beside me
he is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pinin' for
on nights I'm not around
Could it be the man who did the things
I'm living down?
Well I carved a cross from live oak
and a box from shortleaf pine
Buried her so deep
she touched the water table line
I picked up what I needed
and I headed south again
To myself I wondered
would I find another friend
There's a man who walks beside her,
it is who I used to be
