One of the most popular oaks, Quercus ilex or Holly Oak is a Mediterranean native that feels very much at home in the western United States. Its stiff toothed leaves and fissured black bark impart a formidable demeanor to this stately tree. While it takes some time to mature, the Quercus ilex will outlast you or me. Expect an impressive rounded crown to develop with specimens measuring as between 30 and 60 feet tall and wide. It thrives in Western Garden zones 4-24 and needs regular water upon planting but is drought tolerant once mature. Coastal winds, inland heat and pests prove little trouble to this evergreen powerhouse. Give full or partial sun and room to roam. Its acorns attract squirrels and birds but it is deer resistant. Small flowers or catkins form in the spring but are insignificant. Boething Treeland Farms offers 15 gallon and 24” boxed Quercus ilex.
