Arbor Week Countdown: 3 ...

Three days until Arbor Day (featuring Florida trees): This is a SOUTHERN LIVE OAK, found throughout Florida, along the Atlantic coast up to southern Virginia, and along the gulf coast as far as Texas. It has green leaves throughout the year, although they drop off in the spring as new ones emerge. Southern live oaks are often home to other plants, such as ball moss, Spanish moss, and mistletoe. This tree has a thriving population of resurrection ferns along its horizontal branches.
