Quercus Agrifolia - Coast Live Oak (1 Gallon)

About this item

The Coast Live Oak is a beautiful, long-lived California native evergreen tree known for its broad, spreading canopy and distinctive, gracefully twisting branches. Growing as a single-trunk or multi-trunk tree, it develops deeply furrowed, dark gray bark with age, adding character and visual interest to the landscape. Its thick, leathery, dark green leaves feature rolled-under edges and subtle, sharp teeth.

Small female flowers and slender male catkins appear in spring, followed by acorns that provide an important food source for local wildlife. A valuable habitat tree, the Coast Live Oak supports a wide variety of birds, insects, and other native animal species. Well suited to California's coastal landscapes, this adaptable tree is an excellent choice for naturalistic gardens, spacious yards, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
