    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This dwarf tanbark oak, found growing on serpentine soils in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwest Oregon into California is a prize for rock gardeners and non-rock gardeners alike. Blue Leave and new growth with golden indumentum. Yum! To only 3-5 feet at maturity and that fairly slowly. Full to part sun, lean and well-drained soil, with no summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7, possibly into zone 6.

    The fuzzy pink new leaves appear to be flowers at first glance. Sage green evergreen leaves on shrubby 5' plants. No summer water for sake of longevity.
