About Canyon Live Oak
From California, Southwest Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Baja California, Canyon Live Oak (Quercus chrysolepis) is a dense and dark-foliaged evergreen tree of commanding size, growing up to 100 feet tall (although most specimens are closer to between 70 and 80 feet tall). The leaves of this tree resemble Holly with the exception that the leaf undersides are golden in color, as are the tree's golden-scaled acorn caps. Canyon Live Oak produces among the largest acorns of any oak, and is the most widely distributed oak in California.About Jonsteen's Seedlings
All of our trees are seed-grown without poison or pesticides at our nursery on California's Redwood Coast, which is inspected monthly and licensed by the California Department of Agriculture. Trees can provide a natural barrier against high winds, temperatures, noise pollution and soil erosion, all while benefiting local air quality, wildlife and property values — a Jonsteen seedling will only grow in value and beauty!

Seedling Size Chart: Medium
Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
