OAK 
(Quercus) 
15 Year Old LIVE OAK 
30 ft. high and 40 ft. wide 
F’ecause of their longevity, everlasting beauty 
and rapid growth, the Oaks are now preferred to 
all other Shade Trees. When Trees are properly 
grown, all forks are cut out and a center stem 
retained, forcing all branches to come out horizon¬ 
tally from the main trunk. The center continues to 
grow upward and the branches horizontally, mak¬ 
ing a beautiful tree. As the Tree grows older, the 
side branches predominate, making the Tree wider 
and wider, and when the Tree gets old, there will 
not be a lot of forked branches at the trunk that 
will split off and ruin the tree during a hard storm. 
LIVE OAK Quercus virginiana 
Broadleaf Evergreen Shade Tree. Ter. 1 to 6. 60 
ft. high and 150 ft. spread. Thre is nothing more 
beautiful than the true “Spanish Live Oak”. This 
type has thick, dark green, oblong, pointed leaves 
that glisten in the sunlight, the underside being a 
grayish-green color. Our strain is not to be con¬ 
fused with ordinary “Texas Scrub Live Oak” which 
is very slow growth and never makes a uniform 
pretty tree. Ours are grown from acorns gathered 
specially from the choicest Trees known in the South 
and isolated from any other kinds of Oaks, which 
makes them true to type and fast growing. The 
best, rapid growing Shade Tree for the Southwest.
