Let’s talk… Coast Live Oaks!
The majority of Oak trees we see here in our neck of the woods is the Coast Live Oak, or the Quercus agrifolia. This tree is native to our coastal region in California. The Coast Live Oak is an evergreen tree and can grow to be up to 80 feet tall, but generally grows to about between 20 feet and 40 feet high. The Coast Live Oak has a lovely canopy that provides lovely shade for those who sit underneath. They have a very long life if they are well cared for. The name Quercus agrifolia literally means “field leaved Oak”.
