Native to lower and middle elevations of the coast ranges, Sierra Nevada of Calif. and Baja. It likes sun, no water in its range,to moderate water in interior heat. A beautiful tree that needs no special care. Its dark green appearance and reddish-brown bark make the tree look formal. It will grow a foot or two each year. If it is happy you might even get 3 feet in a year.1. Oaks do not want to be overwatered. 1a. Oaks do like enough water to survive for the first 2-3 years. 2. Oaks do not want to be on drip. 2a. The best watering os sprinkler or hose@once/week for the first summer, then 1/month second summer, then 1-3 times in spring the third summer. 2b. Oaks are fine planted 30-50 ft. from a lawn. 3.
