Fort Fisher Live Oaks

Live Oaks have a shallow, sprawling root system. I've read that they are sometimes even interconnected. I've heard of redwoods in the pacific northwest (USA) doing something similar. As in the case of the redwoods, they are "families" of related trees and actually "care" for one another by passing carbon and other nutrients from one to another; and that's just what we know so far. I wonder if the live oaks at Fort Fisher are just one big family, too! And if so, do you think they ever argue?
