Interior live oak
A handsome slow growing (1-2 ‘ per/yr) evergreen tree that can reach 50′ or more, and as broad. It has glossy, dark-green leaves. Space 35’0″ apart.
Native to lower and middle elevations of the coast ranges, Sierra Nevada of Calif. and Baja. It likes sun, no water in its range, to moderate water in interior heat.
A beautiful tree that needs no special care. Its dark green appearance and reddish-brown bark make the tree look formal. It will grow a foot or two, or if particularly happy, even as much as 3’ in a year. Caution: Oaks do not want to be over watered.
