Let's start a Coastal Live Oak thread...

Joanie...to be sure, from coast to coast there a number of different Live Oaks...and, I'm sure the one you are interested in is the Coastal Live Oak, Quercus agrifolia, aka, California Live Oak...

JohnThompson, of San Jose, in my opinion, is Mr. Coastal Live Oak...Robert can probably help you get in touch with him.


I have a CLO from a John Thompson Workshop at ABS'99 in Tucson. It has been doing better than just surviving here in the Southern Arizona desert... sometimes hot and dry...sometimes hot and humid...lot of strong winds...some below freezing temps.


This Oak has moved from California to Tucson (2500') to Catalina AZ (3000') to it's present home in Oracle AZ at 4550'...the upper edge of the Arizona High Desert.


I'm guessing, but it would likely be happier in your area.


Let's see what this thread brings...maybe we both can learn more about the California Live Oak.


Have a good day.


Pat
