The live oak is the characteristic tree of region 12 (fig. 2) and is the pride of 

 the cities that have used it. Even though an evergreen it is an excellent street 

 tree, as it is large, spreading, and open. The palmetto and palms thrive and 

 may be used for formal effects. The evergreen magnolia is a good, broad- 

 leaved evergreen. The laurel oak is evergreen in the southern parts of this 

 region.
