Need some help in distinguishing pronouns. 

My question:

If I write a sentence containing live oak tree in the middle of it......would I captilize live oak since it's the name of a specific thing?

If you are talking about the specific species, then Live Oak  is correct. If you are talking about any oak that is living, then a live oak is correct.
