A Bit More

Expected to eventually (but slowly) reach 70’ in height and 80’ in spread, the Coast Live Oak is a considerable but worthwhile commitment. Excellent for parks, universities, greenbelts, large gardens and even street medians where room allows, its dense foliage casts delicious shade in arid environments. Naturally round-headed and available as a single, multi-trunk or natural low-branching specimen, this evergreen thrives in Sunset Garden zones 7-9 and 14-24. Full sun and adequate but deep water fulfill its requirements. Oval dark green leathery leaves have serrated edges and are 1-3 inches long. The small and cone-shaped acorns were a staple for Native Americans. Attractive bark, deer and drought resistance and its ability to attract birds and butterflies are just some of the reasons this oak is so coveted.
