Good question. We're just starting to get green out here in the desert.

Live oaks don't lose their leaves in winter and they fare well in south Louisiana were it's much more humid and far less dry than say San Antonio or central California.
Personally, I've come (over time) to appreciate the oak trees out West because they do lose their leaves. Makes for some really beautiful silhouettes at sunrise/sunset in wintertime. Oregon State's campus and the surrounding area has lots of white oaks. Reminds me a lot of south Louisiana but it's a little different because the oaks lose their leaves and white oaks have a much more rounded appearance (thus the nice silhouettes). Each type of oak is well suited to its particular environment. I wouldn't plant a live oak up here and the white oak would look funny in Baton Rouge. Stately oaks all the same.
