Another fabulous evergreen oak, this to 20-25' tall with a rounded, pyramidal form and small leaves, dark green and shiny above with velvety brown indumentum on the undersides -- the guava leaf oak. This is a Chinese oak that is tolerant of both drought and summer water making it easy to place. A handsome addition to the garden or parking strip. Frost hardy to at least mid USDA zone 8 and probably lower.
