Regular Q. virginiana only grows where soils drain well - here at least. On the other hand, there are almost no slow draining soils around here - all sand.

Thanks Salicaceae, for replying. I am going to switch the location of 2 oaks to better suit where I think they should be. The other Live oak Late drop that are in moist/damp soil, will either adapt or die. If they die it will be sad, but I have 5 or 6 in well drained soil. The 3 in damp soil all spring/summer, because of a long rainy stretch (all spring/summer) haven't croaked yet, maybe they'll be fine.

From what I understand, the Virginiana tolerate standing water for a bit.

Thanks Joe. There is one in an area that held water for a while when we had LOTS of rain. The top 3 leaves are tan now, so I am going to switch it with a Hybrid Overcup oak X white oak, that can take the soggy soil. I will be putting the LO. late drop up in a well drained area, once they are dormant . I should have done it that way to begin with anyway. I have updated L.O photos on my most successful Live oak thread from a while ago, I had nobody to hold up a background against the trees , but I think you can see the trees anyway, the first picture is hard to see but I took 2 pics of the first tree.
