About Coast Live Oak
Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia), also called California Live Oak, is a small- to medium-sized evergreen occurring west of the Sierra Nevada, growing along the Coast Ranges from Mendocino County to Baja California.
Living for up to 250 years and reaching heights between 30 – 80 feet tall with diameters 1 – 3 feet wide, Coast Live Oak is characterized by its short trunk and large, gnarled limbs that spread upward into a dense and broadly rounded canopy. Leaves typically measure 1 – 3 inches long, are oval in shape, dark green in color, leathery in texture, and spiny-toothed. Acorns, known to have been harvested by at least 12 different Native American peoples, are egg-shaped and between 2 – 4 centimeters long. A shade-tolerant tree that thrives in well-draining soil along the Pacific Coast, Coast Live Oak is a great oak for those living in a milder, coastal climate.

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.
