THE LIVE OAK {Quncus Virginiana) 



The thick trunks of old trees break into horizontal limbs of great length and si?.e, forming a broad dome not 

 unlike a picturesque old apple tree. The small leaves remain on the twigs all winter 



THE CALIFORNIA LIVE OAK {Quercus agrifolia) 



This evergreen oak has holly-like leaves with bristly tips upon its lobes, but its acorns are annual. Nevertheless 

 it belongs to the black-oak group. The staminate catkins are delicate and numerous. The red-headed woodpeckers 

 store the acorns away for winter in holes they drill in the bark furrows
