Canyon Live Oak

Canyon Live Oak is a native California evergreen oak known for its dense, spreading canopy and striking silvery-green foliage. Mature specimens develop a broad, rounded crown ideal for shade and windbreaks. Drought-tolerant once established, Canyon Live Oak requires minimal water and maintenance, making it an excellent choice for sustainable gardens and native plant landscapes. Its acorns provide food for wildlife, supporting local ecosystems. Perfect for large properties, parks, and restoration projects in California's oak woodlands.
