Another Tree I would love to meet is the Southern Live Oak. To be in the presence of Her grand, graceful Branches spreading lovingly out from an immense short Trunk, draped in Spanish Moss and green with Leaves... well, if you love Trees, don't pass up the chance to meet one of the big ones.
She is unique for large (or even small!) Trees. Her wide Trunk branches out close to the ground into many massive, grand Branches- well, that is not unusual. But while they grow 'only' about 50-65 feet tall or so, they spread out well over 100 feet across- sometimes to 140 or perhaps even 150 feet!!!
I know of no other Tree like these grand, graceful spreading Trees.
It seems to me that this unique, gorgeous shape also helps them survive the many hurricanes they would live through- certainly they survive hurricanes very well!
Beauty and strength- breathtaking grand beauty!
Look up pictures of them- and if you're in the area (the South near the coast) go and meet one!
Have fun!
