In June 2007, we were invited by Carol and Ed to visit the Bald Head Island by the coast of North Carolina. Even though it has been highly developed as a top notched vacation home site, it keeps its natural beauty in a lot of areas on the island. We found this Live Oak while we drove around with a golf cart.If you like science as much as we do, you may want to know more about Live Oak. It is evergreen unlike some other oak trees. Dry southern Live Oak lumber has a specific gravity of 0.88 which is the highest of any American hardwood. In fact, the warship, USS Constitution, made with southern Live Oak was known to repel bullet shots.
