I thought that the Live Oaks can be hosts to Spanish Moss, but the Laurel Oaks cannot.
I also understood that the Laurel Oaks do not live as long, have weaker limbs are are more likely to be damaged in storms. They also, If I am correct, have a lifespan of 40 yrs or so, where as the Live Oak can live for 60-100 yrs.
TV doesn't use Live Oaks in yards of new homes. Just the Laurel Oaks.
Again, this is what I recall.....could be wrong.
