Lionetti Live Oak
Quercus virginiana x fusiformis
Lionetti Live Oak is a refined, moderately fast-growing hybrid live oak — a deliberate cross between the stately Southern Live Oak and the rugged Escarpment Live Oak — selected for its compact, upright form and outstanding adaptability to the soils and conditions of Central Texas. Its dense, evergreen canopy provides reliable year-round shade and structure in a more restrained footprint than traditional live oaks, making it an excellent choice for smaller residential properties, street-side plantings, and formal landscape settings. Inheriting the graceful presence of its Southern parent and the exceptional drought and heat tolerance of its Escarpment lineage, it delivers the best of both worlds in a practical, manageable scale.
