I'm no expert, but the trunk you show is almost certainly not Q agrifolia. Maybe its Q suber. The leaves on the left could be agrifolia, but the two on the right look like Q. chryselopsis (Canyon live oak), or maybe Q wislizenii (Interior live oak).

Here's a good site on California oaks. Much of the cultivation info refers to oaks in landscape planting, however.
