Laurel Oak (Quercus laurifolia)

 is a fast-growing Florida native shade tree valued for its broad canopy, glossy foliage, and ability to establish quickly in large-scale landscapes. Its smooth, narrow leaves give the tree a finer texture than many traditional oaks, while its dense canopy provides dependable shade for parks, streetscapes, campuses, and spacious residential sites.

Best suited to full sun and soils with consistent moisture, Laurel Oak performs especially well in low-lying sites, along pond edges, and in landscapes with seasonally wet conditions. Because it matures quickly and can become a substantial tree, provide adequate root-zone and canopy space; it is most effective where rapid shade and a strong native presence are the priority.
