Grade #1 Live Oaks for Florida’s Public Spaces

Cities, counties, parks departments and universities across Florida plant Conser live oaks — including Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville and EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville.

A municipal tree has to survive two kinds of scrutiny: the inspection at delivery and the forty years afterwards, in public, with a maintenance budget attached. Conser Trees has been growing to Florida Number 1 since 1992, and the trees we sold in the nineties are still standing in Florida towns — which is the only performance record that counts.

The problem

What usually goes wrong — and what we do about it.

What public agencies are up against

  • Bid specifications call for Florida #1 stock, and the delivered trees do not hold the grade under inspection.
  • Street trees planted from narrow, tightly-grown stock take fifteen years to produce usable canopy over a sidewalk.
  • Multiple award vendors deliver visibly different trees to the same corridor, and residents notice.
  • Long-term maintenance cost is set at planting by structure and form — poor stock is a decades-long line item.

What we bring to a public project

  • 100% Florida Grades & Standards #1. It is the only grade grown on our farms, which makes compliance structural rather than aspirational.
  • Uniform stock from a single grower, so an entire corridor or campus quad matches at planting and stays matched.
  • 12-foot spacing builds strong central leaders and well-distributed scaffold branches — the structure that keeps pruning costs down.
  • A 30-year Florida track record, with trees at two major stadiums, SeaWorld, The Villages and Lakewood Ranch.

Why buy from the farm

What you get from Conser Trees.

  • Specification compliance

    Florida Grades & Standards #1 on every tree, every caliper — the standard most Florida municipal specifications are written against.

  • Uniformity across a corridor

    One species, one grower, five farms. Street trees and quad plantings that read as a single installation rather than three purchase orders.

  • Structure that lowers maintenance

    Wide spacing produces better-formed heads and stronger branch attachments — less corrective pruning over the life of the tree.

  • A native, climate-appropriate species

    Live oak (Quercus virginiana) is native to Florida, wind-firm, drought-tolerant once established, and the longest-lived shade tree we can put in a public right-of-way.

  • Documented public installations

    Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, EverBank Stadium, SeaWorld, The Villages, Lakewood Ranch, and numerous Florida cities and developments.

  • Transparent published pricing

    Our list prices are on this site, which makes budget estimates and bid comparisons straightforward.

Questions

Municipal buyers ask us…

Do your trees meet Florida Grades and Standards Number 1?

Yes. Every live oak we sell is Florida Grades & Standards #1. We have produced only Florida #1 live oaks since 1992 and have remained committed to that single grade since reopening as a family operation in 2017.

Have Conser trees been planted on public projects?

Yes — including Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at the University of Florida, EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, SeaWorld, The Villages, Lakewood Ranch, and numerous Florida cities and developments.

Why live oak for street and park plantings?

Live oak (Quercus virginiana) is native to Florida, exceptionally wind-firm, drought-tolerant once established, and very long-lived. It produces broad horizontal canopy, which is what makes it the standard shade tree for Florida public spaces.

Can you supply enough uniform stock for a full corridor?

We grow across five farms in Alachua County and have sold more than 43,000 live oaks statewide. Call 352-870-4093 with your caliper and quantity and we will confirm what is available.
