grand oak

My grand front yard oak. Most of these coastal oaks don’t grow this tall and straight. The prevailing onshore wind tends to make them lean. This beauty is at least 100 years old (likely much older).
Amelia Island, Florida.

Most people would think that a southern oak like this would be covered in Spanish Moss and look more like a “traditional” live oak. It’s not a live oak, and I’m not 100% sure which oak variety it is. I do know that there isn’t a hint of moss on it – as if it’s not the proper host.
