*RETAIL - Quercus sp. [Lost oak of the Pecos]

We first saw this plant about about 30 years ago at the confluence of the Pecos and the Rio Grande rivers. This tree along with Pistacia texana were most exciting to see. Native to only a couple spots in Texas and adjacent Cohuila and clearly allied with Q. canbyi. A most attractive smaller oak to an eventual 30ft. or more with rather glossy, shallowly-lobed leaves about 3" by 1" wide and silvery bark. The trees in our garden planted in 04' are now approaching 30 ft. While evergreen, leaves can turn bronzy or red in winter. Tough and drought hardy, though prefers some summer water when none naturally occurs. Has proven cold hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 7.
