I could google this but I'm tired and going to bed

Goodnight,OP. Sleep well.

Live oak generally refers to oaks that are not deciduous (leaf-dropping) on the normal schedule. Most trees leaf out in spring, the leaves change color in the fall and either fall off immediately, or the dead leaves hang onto the tree for a while in the winter before dropping. With live oaks, which are mostly native to warmer regions of the US, the leaves stay green through the winter, and the tree probably still photosynthesizes a bit during winter because the temperatures are warm enough and the ground isn't frozen. However, live oaks also lose their leaves. They generally drop them in the spring and new ones replace them as they fall. The classic live oak is quercus virginiana, the live oak of the deep South, with exceptionally long branches that are draped with spanish moss as pictured in the link

I don’t know about live oak. I’m all about that live resin.

It's this tree OP. The tree is called Gertrude.

It's kind of like the apple trees in "The Wizard of Oz". Only they can walk right into your house and smother you in your sleep.

Thanks for the answer r[2]

Then what's a ROYAL Oak?
