Trees in Georgia: 

Live Oak/Quercus virginiana
Red Oak Subgenus: Erythrobalanus
Family: Beech/Fagaceae

Characteristics:

Live Oak is an evergreen tree with medium-fine texture and a slow growth rate. It has a broad-spreading form with massive horizontal branches. It is a long-lived tree and a haven for resurrection fern and Spanish moss. The bark on older trees is almost black, develops a blocky appearance, and looks like alligator hide. Leaves are lustrous, dark green above and light green below. Old leaves drop in the spring as new leaves emerge.

Landscape Uses:

Use Live Oak as a specimen tree in large spaces. Its evergreen foliage does not allow much sunlight beneath the canopy. It prefers sandy, moist, limestone soils and full sun for best development. It tends to grow poorly in Piedmont clays.

Size:

40 to 80 feet tall and 60 to 100 feet wide

Habitat:

Sandy, alkaline soils, including coastal dunes and ridges, near marshes and inland hammocks in the lower Coastal Plain. Also commonly found up to 100 miles inland.

Comments:

Live Oak is the state tree of Georgia

Tulip Poplar or Yellow Poplar/Liriodendron tulipifera
Family: Magnolia/Magnoliaceae

Characteristics:

Tulip Poplar, also called Yellow Poplar, is a deciduous tree with coarse texture and a medium to fast growth rate. It is pyramidal in form when young, becoming oval-rounded with age. It has a fleshy root system characteristic of the magnolia family. Leaves are tulip-shaped with four lobes. Fragrant orange-yellow tulip-like flowers appear from April to May.

Landscape Uses:

Tulip Poplar is a fast-growing shade or specimen tree. It prefers moist, well-drained soils and full sun. Avoid planting it in open, exposed sites and dry soils. Allow plenty of room for development.

Size:

80 to 100 feet tall and 30 to 40 feet wide

Zones:

6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b

Habitat:

Moist, well-drained soil

Comments:

Tulip Poplar is an early seccession tree and is intolerant of shade. It needs full sun to become established and grow well. It is a good wildlife tree.
