The Southern Live Oak Tree also known as the standard live oak tree is the traditional standard field-grown or seedling live oak tree. The standard live oaks are grown from acorns, each with their own shape and character. Live oaks are magnificent, strong, resilient shade trees.
Cultivar Live Oaks are Southern Live Oak tree varieties grown from a rooted cutting of a tree to copy or ‘clone’ its unique characteristics. We no longer grow the ‘Cathedral’ or ‘Highrise’ live oak cultivars as there are many superior cultivar varieties available such as the Live Oak ‘SkyClimber’, ‘Parkside’, ‘Boardwalk’ and ‘Augustina’.
The ‘Highrise’ Live Oak was the first ever live oak cloned. Now instead of just growing the varieties of cultivars, we also grow the acorns from the “parents”. This practice has offered a percentage of live oak trees with the same structure, while also providing the best of the tree in a character seedling.
