Wow, that looks impressive. Is that in one of the southern states ? Do oaks grow across the whole of the US?

I believe they are live oaks, and not the oaks that grow in the UK and up in the northern States. It's a totally different tree that is evergreen and has acorns. I have never seen an actual oak tree like the ones that grow back in the UK down here in Florida. I think it is too hot in the south for them.

Yup, in Florida near Alabama. I'm not quite sure how they prolific they are. It seems their wood was used frequently in ship building so a lot of early settlements have them.

Interesting about the ship building, thanks
