Pasadena Oak
The Pasadena oak, also known as the Engelmann Oak, has an open canopy of long elliptical green-grey leaves that catch the sun in unique ways, adding to its wild untamed character with spreading limbs and distinctive mottled bark. A separate species, Engelmann Oaks are increasingly rare in their native region along the foothills of Southern California from Pasadena into Baja California. A truly awe-inspiring tree that is a haven for birds and butterflies, blooming in winter and spring with clusters of creamy whitish-green flowers.
How to grow
Thrives in full sun in dry to moist soil. It will remain evergreen with proper irrigation but may become deciduous in summer due to drought conditions.
