Live Oak Trees?

Does anyone here sell the Live Oak Tree that is found in the south adorned with Spanish Moss? One simply cannot have Oak Alley without the lovely Live Oak Trees that sit on each side of the path leading to the house! :)

Having grown up in TX with 2 southern Live oaks in my back yard and having an old southern civil war mansion with an oak entrance around the corner from my grandmothers house, I was having the same thoughts. I have checked the stores in the poser/daz community and a few model sites and so far haven't found any oaks with the moss so far.

Well, if you can find some sutable trees here is some Spanish moss you can put on them: http://www.daz3d.com/traveler-s-naturals-spanish-moss-vol-1

Thanks for your responses! I have not found any live oak trees at all..they are my favorite tree! I have the Spanish moss from Traveler. But not any Live Oak trees. Every year we go to the South for vacations and have toured many of the Southern Plantaions. The Antebellum Mansion looks very much like Oak Alley..so does the interior. Very nice! It just needs the Live Oaks which gives it it's name :)

An image search shows quite a bit of variation in the appearance of Live Oaks. Within that range, Trees 5 & 6 by Flink at Rendo could pass. Come with moss and ivy options, too.

Xfrog has them.

Wonderful suggestions! Thanks so much for posting the links! Flinks and Merlins look very close. The Xfrog is good too but a bit pricey for me. Thanks for posting these! :)

yes there seems to be a lot of dead trees in many DAZ sets, only recently have we been seeing more living ones,

Merlin and Predatron mostly, I think iray allowed more transmapped leaves to gain popularity

My uncle in Florida had a big split level ranch style house with a huge live oak at one end of it.  One enormous branch of the tree extended horizontally out over nearly the full length of the house.  Every time a hurricane came through we had thoughts about that branch coming right through the length of the house.  I've been there for 4 hurricanes but the worst that ever happened was a younger Live Oak tree behind the house leaned over and crushed the eaves of the roof and poked a few small holes in the roof over the living room.  But that huge old Live Oak is still there, undamaged as it has been for probably a hundred years or more.  Lots of Spanish Moss hanging from it.  Although hurricanes are good for weeding out some of the Spanish Moss from the tree.  After one of the storms the full length of the double wide driveway was piled two feet high with moss.  It made a huge pile when all shoved out to the street for city pickup.
