Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Collected in Quetzalan Peublo from about 7500 ft by plantsman Allen Taylor. This is a most handsome evergreen oak grows to about 70', though we expect a reasonable 30' in the garden in 10-15 years and slow growth thereafter. The silvery bark is a perfect backdrop for the attractive, 4" x 2" pleated leaves that emerge red and fade to a lustrous green. Can lose some leaves toward late winter, early spring. Drought tolerant though in dry climates summer water will push growth. The high elevation collection suggests frost hardiness to at least the bottom of USDA zone 8 and possibly a bit cooler.
