DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
SPECIES: Quercus virginiana | Live Oak 



GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : 
The typical live oak variety occurs on the lower Coastal Plain of the
southeastern United States from southeast Virginia to Florida, including
the Florida Keys, and west to southeast Texas [21,31].  Pure forms are
found east of the Brazos River in Texas; a transitional zone, where
morphological traits of typical and Texas live oak show clinal
variation, occurs west of the Brazos [41].  Texas live oak occurs
primarily on the Edwards Plateau and the Rio Grande Plain in Texas.  It
is found as far west as Terrell County, Texas, in drainages of the Pecos
River.  Scattered populations occur in southwestern Oklahoma and in the
mountains of northeastern Mexico [21,41].  Sand live oak occurs from
North Carolina to Florida and west to Mississippi [4].
