Southern Live Oak Tree – Majestic Beauty for Your Landscape
About the Bloom
The Southern Live Oak Tree does not produce blooms, but its evergreen leaves are a sight to behold. With dark green, leathery foliage that remains on the tree year-round, this tree offers a lush, verdant backdrop for your garden.
What to Know About the Plant
The Southern Live Oak Tree is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 80 feet tall and spread out just as wide, creating a grand presence in your landscape. Its branches are known to gracefully sweep down towards the ground, creating a picturesque canopy that provides ample shade and beauty.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Pair the Southern Live Oak Tree with fruit trees like Citrus, such as Lemon or Orange trees, to create a stunning contrast between the dark green foliage of the oak and the bright, colorful fruits of the citrus trees. Berry plants like Blackberries or Strawberries can also complement the Southern Live Oak Tree, adding pops of color and delicious treats to your garden. Tropical plants like Banana trees or Pineapple plants can add a touch of exoticism to your landscape design, while herbs like Mint or Basil can provide aromatic foliage that enhances the sensory experience of your outdoor space.
With Just Fruits and Exotics, you can expect your Southern Live Oak Tree to be shipped 100% in a pot, ensuring a seamless transition to your garden. Our superior packaging and easy shipping make receiving your tree a breeze. As a nationally renowned, family-owned and operated online nursery, we bring a trusted, local-friendly vibe to your shopping experience. Transform your garden with the Southern Live Oak Tree and discover the beauty and elegance it brings to your outdoor space.
Landscaping with Evergreen Trees
There is nothing more pleasant than the sight of a lush green tree blowing in wind. These trees will keep their leaves year round which really provide an advantage in the landscape. When there are a lot of bare deciduous tree branches in the winter, evergreen trees provide a contrast in the landscape. Evergreen trees are also great for adding year round privacy to your property. Instead of building an unsightly privacy fence, plant an evergreen tree to have a lovely living fence. Use evergreen trees in the back drop of the landscape to provide a foundation for other shrubs and bushes. Evergreen trees also make a beautiful specimen tree that will stand strong and look elegant all year round.
Recommended Fertilizers for Planting and Maintenance
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain: Our Evergreen Tree Varieties do well with Espoma Organic Palm-tone Fertilizer
Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your Evergreen Trees, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.
Shipping Restrictions
Unfortunately, We Cannot Process Orders to California, Hawaii, Alaska, or Internationally: Please note that due to specific agricultural regulations, we’re unable to ship any plants to the states of California, Hawaii, and Alaska, or outside the United States. Additionally, citrus trees can only be shipped within the state of Florida.
Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
