One of the handsomest of the western, evergreen oaks, this native of southwest Oregon to northern California is a small shrub, to only 6-10' tall x 3' wide, with huge, shining leaves, oblong and serrated, dark green above and paler beneath. Best in well-drained soil in understory conditions in light shade. Tolerant of summer drought and hot conditions as well as heavy winter rains. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.

Left as a relic only in the fabled home of Big-Foot, this rare species often shares the steep slopes of the Siskiyous with western Rhododendron; large leathery dark-green leaves make this wide-spreading, 6' shrub attractive. Sun-PSh/Med-Dry/GdDrain
