Coast Live Oak (Quercus Agrifolia) Standard 24” Box

Coast Live Oak (Quercus Agrifolia) are trees that grow slowly but last generations. Despite its common name, it can be found growing naturally in habitats miles from the coast, even near the Sierra Nevadas. It is also the only oak that thrives near the ocean. Expected to eventually (but slowly) reach 70’ in height and 80’ in spread, the Coast Live Oak is a considerable but worthwhile commitment. 

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. Quercus agrifolia is Latin for “field” oak. Its Spanish name, “encino” was used to name more than a few of the original land grants in California.
