Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This oak came from Rhodes and was found by Robert & Jelena DeBelder. Don’t know the eventual size, but assume it’s not huge (seems to grow 6”-12” per season). We gave our original plants to friends and they grew it much better than we did. The foliage is jagged and has silver hairs spring-summer. The caps that hold the acorns are somewhat like green chrysanthums. A very beautiful and fun plant. Can’t be sent to California.
