Coast Live Oak

19 years ago

Anyone plant a Coast Live oak in the midAtlantic area. Saw one in the local nursery which they are going to start heavily discounting to get rid of their trees. It is about 12ft high and I have a nice open place for it on a hill (well drained but silty clay (to be amended before planting). I think it likes more sandy soils similar to california(aka California Live Oak) as it likes well drained soils. Anyhow, just wondering what other people's experience with this particular oak(branching structure, growth rate, etc) rather than the more typical southern live oak we see around here.
