One of the most beautiful little oaks of the SW and another evergreen, this is a foothill chaparral plant from Arizona into southeastern California, just in Utah and barely touching Colorado. A shrub to small tree of only 6-12' feet with small, somewhat spiny and revolute powder-blue leaves. These plants represent a collection from near Enterprise, Utah at 5,200 ft where temperatures frequently fall to 0ºF in the winter. Can be kept in container for many years, otherwise as garden plants. Expect 6-8 ft in as many years under ideal conditions: free drainage and bright sun and an occasional thunderstorm during monsoon season. This oak is a contender for USDA 6 but actually lives, as we write, at the Denver Botanical Gardens.
