    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From the Extremadura of Southwestern Europe, this a favorite sweet acorn loved by the local iberico pigs, but possibly more important for us, a stunning small tree to about 25', greater in time. With rounded crown, small evergreen very pale beneath blue tinted leaves and silvery bark. Loves summer drought, excellent street or dryland garden tree. Bright light, well drained. USDA Zone 7.
