Live Oak Tree Day
Live Oak Tree Day is March 17th
Live Oak Tree Day is an Epic Tree Holiday celebrating the most amazing and unique Trees on Earth. It is a day to remember the importance of protecting the earth and trees.
The live oak tree is a symbol of strength and resilience. These epic trees can live for hundreds of years and have the ability to withstand strong winds and survive in wetland areas. They grow well in humid, subtropical climates and are often found near rivers or wetland areas because their roots extend deep into the ground to search for water. They also produce small acorns that can be eaten by animals such as deer or squirrels.
The Live Oak Tree is the Georgia (U.S. State) Tree
The Live Oak is Georgia's State Tree, adopted in 1959, and has been used as a symbol in Georgia since 1856.

Plant a Live Oak Tree
If you are looking for a new type of tree in your yard, consider planting a live oak! It's beautiful and will make your property more unique than any other tree on the block. Plus, it'll give you something to talk about with all your friends who have never seen one before!
To plant a live oak tree in your yard, it's important to find a place where it will have plenty of room to grow. Live oak trees need plenty of water, so make sure the soil is wet before you start planting. You'll also want to dig a hole that is twice as deep as the tree's root ball and slightly wider than the root ball itself. Be sure to loosen the soil in the bottom of the hole before putting the tree in, and then pack soil around the roots once it's in place. Finally, water thoroughly!
