The team was knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and clearly cared about doing the job right. The trees were healthy, well-planted, and everything was done with attention to detail. I highly recommend Paul’s Nursery to anyone looking for quality fruit trees and reliable installation.

It saddens me to come to this page and see only 4 stars for this stellar business. It almost makes me wonder if the reviewers left their review on the wrong page. I experienced exactly zero of the negative experiences described in some of these reviews. I responded to their ad on facebook and was pleasantly surprised every step of the way! Communication was prompt, professional, respectful, courteous, and most certainly not aggressive. The staff was extraordinarily accommodating, going out on a limb (See what I did there?) to ensure my satisfaction. I purchased a Persian Lime tree from them. They delivered AND planted it at no additional charge – and I live over FIFTY MILES from their site! Upon delivery, the tree was already laden with fruit! This was a birthday gift for my sister. Growing up in Northern Michigan, she would have never dreamed that one day she would have a lime tree in her backyard. THANK you, Shelsea, Paul & staff for taking my sister’s Florida Dreams to the next level. We will definitely see you again!!!

For Christmas 2020 I bought my wife 5 citrus trees from Paul's Nursery. He picked out some very good trees, whenever I had a question he would walk me through it. Normally the first year you get very few pieces of fruit. Because of the quality of Paul's trees and his help after sale this is the first years crop.Pictures of our trees as of Christmas 2021.

Why Buy Live Oak Trees

No tree says the South quite like a Live Oak. Its canopy reaches out low and wide, throwing deep shade beneath long, sweeping limbs. A single mature specimen can cool an entire yard on the hottest afternoon. The dense, semi-evergreen leaves stay on through most of the calendar, so the shade rarely lets up. Great arching branches lend the tree a sculptural, almost architectural weight. Anchor a landscape with one and it becomes the piece everything else is arranged around. Little else carries the same air of permanence. That grandeur is why families plant these oaks with the next generation in mind.

Grit runs deep in this tree. Native to Florida, the Live Oak was made for the state’s heat, its storms, and its loose sandy ground. Among Florida trees, few stand up to wind the way it does. Low, muscular limbs paired with deep roots let it ride out weather that topples weaker species. Drought barely registers once the root system has spread. Being native, the tree also feeds and shelters local birds and wildlife as it grows. All that hardiness translates into a tree that asks little and worries you less. Where flimsier trees give out, a well-sited oak simply holds.

Sheer longevity puts the Live Oak in a class by itself. Given the right spot, these oaks measure their lives in centuries. Plant one now and it will shade people who are not yet born. That kind of lifespan turns a single tree into a genuine inheritance. Growth comes on at a measured pace, laying down strong, dense wood year by year. That unhurried build is exactly what allows the tree to live so long. Few things added to a property will outlast it. In time, the oak becomes a fixed part of the place’s history.

Moving a tree this substantial is a task Paul’s Nursery shoulders for you. A broad shade tree and the back of a car were never going to work together. The crew hauls each one with the proper equipment and a good deal of care. Your oak lands looking every bit as strong as it did on the lot. The planting rides along with the order rather than surfacing as a later charge. Team members settle the root ball into prepared soil and take on the heavy digging themselves. Your estimate spells out the entire cost before the first cut of the shovel. The figure you sign off on is the one you pay.

The value a Live Oak adds runs well past looks. A grown canopy can drop the temperature around a home and trim the summer cooling bill. That reach of shade turns an exposed yard into usable space through the hottest stretch. The tree’s stature lends a property a settled, established feeling. Buyers notice a mature shade tree the moment they pull up. A native oak also quietly signals a yard that was planned to last. The canopy stretches over patios, lawns, and play spaces alike. Beauty and function like that keep paying back for decades.

Every tree that ships has cleared a careful review first. Each Live Oak is raised and inspected right there on the grounds. Frequent walk-throughs turn up any concern while it is still minor. A tree that looks off stays put rather than going out to a customer. The crew will absorb the loss before handing over a plant set to struggle. That habit descends straight from the family that has run the nursery all along. Confidence here is earned through steady quality, not a fortunate batch. The steady return of past buyers is proof enough.

The routine after planting is gentler than the tree’s size implies. Across the opening weeks, keep the water coming as the oak takes hold. After it settles, ease into a couple of deep soakings a week when the rains fall quiet. Ground with decent drainage suits it best, though the tree tolerates a fair range. A spring feeding backs steady, healthy growth. A little structural pruning early on shapes a sound frame for the years ahead. Once established, the tree faces down heat, wind, and drought on its own. Order from Paul’s Nursery, and the same hands that grew your oak are the ones that plant it.

Commonly Asked Live Oak Trees Planting Questions

Paul’s Nursery keeps a Live Oak purchase straightforward, pairing healthy trees with candid placement advice and delivery throughout Central Florida. The questions below cover what shoppers ask most before they buy.

The Live Oak is a genuinely large tree, and its size is the first thing to plan for. A mature tree can reach forty to sixty feet in height over many years. The canopy is the real showstopper, often spreading sixty to eighty feet across. That spread can stretch wider than the tree is tall, which surprises many homeowners. The low, horizontal limbs reach far out from the trunk in every direction. A Live Oak needs open space to develop that signature form. Cramming one into a tight lot leads to trouble down the road. The team is upfront about the room a Live Oak truly requires.

Planning for the full size from the start is essential with this tree. Give the oak plenty of distance from the house, driveway, and structures. Account for the wide canopy, not just the height, when choosing a spot. Overhead power lines rule out many locations for a tree this large. Underground utilities and septic lines deserve attention before digging. The roots spread wide to match the canopy above. A large open lawn or acreage suits the tree best. The crew can walk the property and confirm the site can hold it.

The slow, steady growth gives you time to plan around the tree. A young oak takes years to approach its full spread. That measured pace lets the landscape grow into the tree gradually. Still, the mature size should guide the planting from day one. A tree given proper room develops the graceful, sweeping form it is famous for. A crowded tree never achieves that iconic shape. Choosing the right spot up front avoids costly problems later. Paul’s Nursery helps make sure the tree has room to become what it should.

The Live Oak grows at a moderate pace, faster than many people expect. In good conditions, a young tree can add two to three feet of height a year. That rate is brisk for such a long-lived, sturdy tree. Growth is quickest in the early years while the tree builds its frame. Starting with a larger tree from the lot gives you shade sooner. The tree grows fastest through the warm, rainy months. Full sun and steady early water encourage the healthiest growth. The pace gradually eases as the tree matures and broadens.

A few basics help a young oak grow steadily. Consistent moisture through the first weeks lets the roots take firm hold. From there, a couple of deep waterings a week keep it moving once the rains ease. Deep, thorough soakings encourage the strong, spreading roots the tree needs. A spring feeding supplies the nutrients for vigorous early growth. Full sun fuels the fullest, healthiest canopy. Light structural pruning in the early years shapes a sound, lasting frame. Following the nursery’s guidance gives the tree an ideal start.

The steady growth pays off in shade and structure within several seasons. A young tree builds height and begins spreading its canopy over a few years. That early growth establishes the framework for the tree’s grand mature form. A larger starting tree shortens the wait for real, usable shade. The tree keeps improving the landscape as it broadens each year. Because it grows steadily rather than explosively, it develops strong, durable wood. That sturdy growth is part of why the tree lives so long. The team can suggest a starting size keyed to how soon you want shade.

The Live Oak is semi-evergreen, which sets it apart from many oaks. It holds most of its leaves through the year rather than going fully bare. That is a big reason it provides such reliable, year-round shade. The tree does drop and replace its leaves, just on an unusual schedule. Rather than shedding in fall, it drops old leaves in late winter or early spring. New growth pushes out at nearly the same time, so the tree is never bare for long. That quick changeover keeps the canopy looking full through the transition. Many homeowners barely notice the brief leaf drop.

The leaf drop is manageable and short-lived. The leaves are small and leathery, simpler to rake than large broad leaves. The tree also drops acorns in the fall, which is worth knowing about. Those acorns are a natural part of the tree and feed local wildlife. Over a lawn or natural area, both the leaves and acorns break down or disappear. Over a patio or drive, a bit more cleanup keeps things tidy. Placing the tree with that in mind keeps maintenance light. The team can suggest a spot that keeps any drop out of the way.

The semi-evergreen habit is a real advantage in the landscape. The tree provides shade and greenery through nearly the entire year. That constant canopy makes it far more useful than a fully deciduous shade tree. The brief spring changeover is a small trade for that year-round benefit. Fresh spring growth keeps the tree looking vigorous and healthy. The dense foliage also gives the tree its cooling power in summer. That steady presence is part of the Live Oak’s enduring appeal. Paul’s Nursery can help you picture how the tree behaves through the seasons.

The Live Oak is one of the best trees a Central Florida homeowner can plant. It is native to the region, so it is perfectly suited to the local climate. The tree thrives in the heat, the humidity, and the sandy soil found here. It handles the region’s dry spells and its heavy summer rains alike. Full sun brings out the strongest, fullest growth. The tree tolerates a range of soils as long as drainage is reasonable. Paul’s Nursery carries stock proven across Clermont, Groveland, and nearby towns. The team makes sure you leave with a tree matched to your site.

The tree’s native toughness shines in Florida weather. Live Oaks are among the most hurricane-resistant trees in the state. Their strong, low limbs and deep roots help them weather severe storms. That wind resistance is a major reason they are so widely planted here. The tree also supports native birds, squirrels, and other local wildlife. A mature oak becomes a small ecosystem in a backyard. That ecological value adds to the tree’s many practical strengths. Few trees give back to a Florida landscape the way a Live Oak does.

The payoff is a tree that thrives with minimal fuss. Once established, the Live Oak is remarkably self-sufficient. It needs little supplemental water after its roots settle in. The tree shrugs off the heat that stresses many other species. Its semi-evergreen canopy provides shade nearly all year. The steady, sturdy growth builds a tree that lasts for generations. That combination of toughness and beauty is hard to match. The current stock is posted online for easy viewing.

Distance is the most important planting decision with a Live Oak. Because the canopy spreads so wide, the tree needs generous clearance. A common guideline is to plant well away from the house, often fifteen to twenty feet at a minimum. For such a large tree, more distance is usually better than less. That spacing gives the wide canopy room to develop without crowding the roof. It also keeps the spreading roots a safe distance from the foundation. The team can recommend the right clearance for your specific tree and lot. That guidance prevents problems long before they start.

Several features around a property factor into the placement. Keep the tree well clear of overhead power lines, since it grows tall and wide. Driveways, walkways, and patios deserve a comfortable buffer from the roots. Septic systems and underground utilities should be mapped before digging. The mature canopy will eventually reach far beyond the young tree’s footprint. Picturing that full spread helps you choose a spot that works for decades. The crew checks for utilities and clearances during the estimate visit. Their experience takes the guesswork out of placing a large tree.

Good placement lets the Live Oak become everything it should. A tree with room develops the sweeping, graceful canopy it is famous for. That open space also keeps the tree from conflicting with structures. The roots spread freely, which keeps the tree healthy and stable. A well-placed oak stands up better to Florida storms. Proper clearance means the tree adds value rather than causing headaches. Choosing the right spot from day one is the whole key. Paul’s Nursery brings the experience to place a Live Oak correctly.

Yes, Paul’s Nursery delivers and plants Live Oak trees across the Central Florida service area. The planting is part of the order, not a separate charge at the end. The crew arrives with the tree, the equipment, and the skill to set it properly. Every step is handled, from opening the hole to the first deep soak. A free estimate lays out the cost and schedule before work begins. The team confirms the spot, the timing, and any prep needs ahead of time. Homeowners in Clermont, Winter Garden, The Villages, and nearby towns use this service often. For a tree this size, professional planting is well worth it.

The installation follows a practiced, reliable sequence. The crew surveys the location, checks for buried lines, and confirms the site can hold the tree. The hole is dug to the right depth and width, with the root flare set true. Native soil goes back around the roots to draw them into the surrounding ground. A large tree calls for careful handling to protect the root ball. A thorough first watering beds the roots into their new home. Before leaving, the team walks you through the follow-up care. Most jobs finish in a single visit.

Scheduling depends on the season and how full the calendar runs. Spring and fall bring the busiest stretch of homeowners. Calling early helps you claim a delivery date that fits your week. The nursery works around the weather when it can, since heavy rain can affect a fresh planting. A short phone call keeps the process clear and direct. Each delivery gets the same care the trees received on the grounds. The goal is a tree that thrives long after the truck pulls away. That aim guides every step of the service.

The first few years set the foundation for a long-lived tree. Water on a steady schedule through the early weeks, easing off when rain falls. Aim for soil that stays moist but never turns soggy around the roots. Deep, thorough watering encourages the strong, spreading roots the tree relies on. Hold off on heavy fertilizer at first so the roots can settle. Watch for any wilting, which usually points to a watering issue. During this window the tree is mainly establishing its root system. A strong start here pays off for generations.

Ongoing care settles into a simple, seasonal rhythm. Once established, the tree needs little supplemental water beyond dry spells. A couple of deep soakings a week helps a younger tree through drought outside the rainy season. Spring is a good time for a feeding and any light shaping. Structural pruning in the early years builds a strong, balanced frame. That early framework helps the tree stand up to storms down the road. Removing any dead or crossing branches keeps the tree healthy. Heavy pruning is rarely needed once the structure is set.

A mature Live Oak asks for very little attention. Its native toughness lets it handle heat, wind, and drought on its own. An occasional check catches any issue while it is still small. The tree’s deep roots and strong wood carry it through the decades. Paul’s Nursery stays a phone call away for questions long after planting day. The team treats each sale as the start of a relationship, not the end of one. Customers often call back years later for advice or another tree. Cared for well, a Live Oak rewards the effort with generations of shade and beauty.

Live Oaks do produce acorns, and it helps to know what to expect. A mature tree drops acorns in the fall as part of its natural cycle. The amount varies quite a bit from one year to the next. Some seasons bring a heavy crop, while others are surprisingly light. This on-and-off pattern is normal and happens with oaks across the board. A young tree produces few or no acorns for its first several years. Only as the tree matures does acorn drop become noticeable. The team can walk you through what a Live Oak brings to a yard over time.

The acorns are manageable and even bring some benefits. They are a natural food source for squirrels, birds, and other local wildlife. Over a lawn or natural area, much of the crop is carried off or breaks down. On a patio, walkway, or driveway, a bit more cleanup keeps things tidy. Raking or blowing during the drop season handles the heavier years. Placing the tree away from paved areas keeps the fallen acorns out of the way. A mower will mulch many of the acorns that land on the lawn. Thoughtful placement takes care of nearly all the concern.

A little planning keeps acorn season easy to live with. Choosing the right spot for the tree is the biggest factor. A Live Oak set over open lawn or a natural area needs almost no cleanup. Keeping it clear of pools and patios avoids the fussiest cleanup spots. The heavy years are occasional rather than constant, so the work comes and goes. The wildlife value is a real bonus for anyone who enjoys a lively yard. The acorns are a small trade for the tree’s shade and grandeur. Paul’s Nursery can help you pick a location that keeps the drop trouble-free.
