Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This hybrid between the channel oak and the canyon oak, both occurring on the islands off the coast of Southern California, has a bigger and more upright growth, often with leaves emerging red as with Q. tomentella and the somewhat smaller and spinier leaves of Q. chrysolepis. These have made most attractive trees, showing great vigor and exhibiting silver bark with age. Remaining reliably evergreen, deep-rooted, and drought tolerant they should be marvelous dry garden or street trees in the. Frost hardy to 0 °F, USDA zone 7.
