Canyon Live Oak 1

Since you are in Laguna, if you haven’t yet, hike Whiting Ranch for inspiration. Some really amazing oaks back in there. So amazing that after a while it’s like whatever!

There is a recognized oak there that is either the largest or oldest of it’s kind around. May be registered.

Good to know, thanks! Hope to check it out sometime.
 
This info may be too little too late. But I recently picked up a nursery canyon live oak and gave its very hard prune along with repot with heavy root work. To say I got an abundance of buds would be an understatement. May be worth a decently hard cutback on yours at some point. Maybe not to the trunk as I can see the vision you’ve got going. But cutting back some of the real long taperless branch may be helpful!
