This, our native oak develops into a majestic, muscular specimen…if you have 100 years to spare. But, truth be known, it’s handsome at any age and would be a wonderful companion to grasses or chaparral plants. Theprime constituent ofour western WillametteValley oaksavannah, it tolerates winter wet but needs summer dry, a somewhat Mediterranean climate. It’s deciduousbut becomes covered with gray-green usnea lichen (old man’s beard) exposed in winter when leaves are absent, consequently, it is always clad with leaf or lovely lichen. In autumn the leaves tinge orange for a bronzed impression. Plant an oak as a heritage tree and secure your legacy.
