Nope. It just drops acorns and sheds the Spanish Moss.

Quote:

Live oak or evergreen oak is a general term for a number of unrelated oaks in several different sections of the genus Quercus that happen to share the characteristic of evergreen foliage.

The name live oak comes from the fact that evergreen oaks remain green and "live" throughout winter, when other oaks are dormant, leafless and "dead"-looking. The name is used mainly in North America, where evergreen oaks are widespread in warmer areas, along the Atlantic coast from southeast Virginia and North Carolina to Florida, west along the Gulf Coast to Texas and across the southwest to California and southwest Oregon.

Evergreen oak species are also common in the warmer parts of Europe and Asia, and are included in this list for the sake of completeness. These species, although not having "live" in their common names in their countries of origin, are colloquially called live oaks when cultivated in North America.

When the term live oak is used in a specific rather than general sense, it most commonly refers to the Southern live oak (the first species so named), but can often refer to other species regionally.

The live oak is the official state tree of Georgia.

From Wiki.

This one will be a hard call except those crayons are just about perfect and the perspective of the tree is dizzying but that dragonfly is cool.

You're off to a good start Nirvana! Like those rings!

I was about to say it's Texas' state tree too... but it turns out we chose the Pecan. Which is nuts (...get it?,) because there are way more live oaks around here than pecan trees.

Live oaks are especially great for climbing, because their trunks are all twisty and often they turn back down towards the ground, so they have great crooks to perch in.
