The Live Oak tree is my favorite tree. As a Georgia resident I understand why Georgia chose to make it the state tree. It is beautiful to look at. It has huge branches that make it fun for climbing, and the canopies provide shade from the summer sun. The tree gets the name Live Oak from the fact that it stays alive and beautiful all year long while other Oak trees go dormant during the winter. The Live Oak tree is a staple to the south.
