The American oak, Q. virginiana, flourishes along the southeastern coast of the United States and is also found in Cuba. It can reach a height of about 50 ft (15 m), and many of its limbs fan out horizontally to form a dense web. Its leaves are dark green and shiny above, whitish and furry below. The live oak is both a timber tree and a popular ornamental tree.
