"Why is it up here in the northlands when we talk about oak trees we just say oak trees but in the south oak is usually preceeded by the word 'live?'"

Your oaks are not the same as OUR oaks - they're BETTER.

All right, all right, just kidding there - "live" oaks are called that because their leaves don't drop in the fall - the look "live" all year round.

All oak trees keep their leaves down there or only the "live" ones?
