"Live Oaks" are not your typical tree. They are also known as evergreen oaks because they remain green year around. Many live over 100 years and grow to massive size, with limbs that often reach outward and then onto the ground. They make wonderful trees for kids to climb, and adults as well. The ones shown here are located along a sand road in Eastern North Carolina near Orton Plantation. You can almost see a horse drawn buggy coming down that road.
