The Story
A handsome, evergreen native oak found in western dry country, these from acorns collected in the wild near Slate Mountain CA where the population had particularly serrate leaf edges. Wonderfully adapted to dry summer climates and very successful as street trees, can reach 20-30 ft in deep soil with bright sun to part shade. Frost hardy into at least low USDA zone 7. Can be shrubby when young so encourage a strong leader.
