What is a California Black Oak? Quercus kelloggii, to be exact. This North American species can be found in California and parts of Oregon and Nevada.

The California Black Oak is distinguishable by its glossy dark green leaves, which are smooth on the upper surface and velvety on the underside. The tree typically reaches heights of 50-70 feet, with a trunk diameter of 12-18 inches.

The California Black Oak makes an excellent addition to any landscape, as it is both drought and wind tolerant. It also provides food and shelter for a variety of wildlife.

In the fall, its leaves change colour to deep shades of red and gold, making it a beautiful sight to behold.

The tree is at its best during the spring and early summer, when its flowers are in bloom.

If you're lucky enough to see a California Black Oak in the wild, be sure to take a moment to appreciate this beautiful specimen!
