Englemann Oak Tree

Englemann Oak Tree

The Englemann Oak tree is a stunning evergreen oak from Southern California with leaves that have a wonderful bluish color to them. These are a bit of an experiment since the Englemann Oak is not often planted this far north. The seed was collected by our friend Nick Lake at the highest elevation he could find them. We’re hoping for a decent bit of cold hardiness to these!
