Quercus Agriflolia: California Live Oak

Quercus agrifolia, the California live oak is a highly variable, often shrubby evergreen oak tree, native to the California Floristic Province. At maturity, it reaches heights of 33-82 ft. Coast live oak is the only California native oak that actually thrives in the coastal environment, although it is rare on the immediate shore; it enjoys the mild winter and summer climate afforded by ocean proximity, and it is somewhat tolerant of aerosol-borne sea salt. The coastal fog supplies relief from the rainless California summer heat. The pollen of the coast live oak is a severe allergen. Pollination occurs in spring. At least twelve distinct cultures of Native Americans are known to have consumed the acorns as a dietary staple. The seeds were ground into meal, which after being washed was boiled into mush or baked in ashes to make bread.
