🌳 Welcome to Tree ID Tuesday!

We’re kicking off our new series with a tree that’s unmistakably Georgia: the southern live oak (Quercus virginiana)—Georgia’s official state tree.

Known for its massive, spreading crown and low, sweeping limbs, the southern live oak can grow 40–80 feet tall while stretching 100 feet or more across. Its glossy, dark green foliage gives it an evergreen appearance, although it briefly sheds its older leaves in early spring as new growth emerges.

And these trees are built to last. Southern live oaks commonly live 200–300 years, with some reaching 400–500 years. 🌳

📸 Swipe through the graphic for a closer look, and follow along each Tuesday as we highlight another tree you can find growing across Georgia!
