| Live oaks will naturally develop branches that bend over and touch the ground after a century or so of growth. They grow naturally in this part of the country a little bit further south (probably where you are if you're coastal) and some of the older specimens are breathtaking. I don't know about training a younger tree, but they are very tough. The Friendship Oak in Long Beach, MS has survived dozens of hurricanes. |
