Description

This evergreen tree slowly grows to 60' tall and 30' wide. Tiny green inconspicuous flowers bloom in spring, followed by acorns. This beautiful tree has spreading branches with yellow green and blue green, stiff, heart-shaped, leathery leaves. This tree produces pollen that is moderately allergenic for some people. Irrigate this tree weekly after it's established, esp during summer. Do not eat the acorns.

Water Saving Tip:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
