These old fellas across the drive from our home are fine examples of
Texas Live Oaks. Live oaks have a typical lifespan of 80 years, but many individuals live much longer. At maturity, they reach 40ft tall and may have a canopy spread of 50ft. They are able to survive drought and are generally quite hearty, but are susceptible to
oak wilt. These guys have beat the odds.
