Description


Quercus canbyi is a semi-evergreen - evergreen tree,[3] up to 40–50 feet (12–15 metres) tall in cultivation. Although, it can reach up to 80 feet (24 metres) in the wild in Mexico. It starts as a pyramidal form and then matures into an open irregular shape.[4] It can reach a spread of 30–40 feet (9.1–12.2 metres) wide.[5]

The dark, glossy green leaves are 6–8 inches (15–20 centimetres) long and have serrated edges. The petioles can have a reddish hue.[6] It blooms in March and the acorns are then seen in August.[7][8]

It is very similar in form to Quercus graciliformis but they differ in twig shape. Q. graciliformis also has slender acorns and is biennial. Q. canbyi produce acute acorns in one year.[9]


Distribution


The species has been found only in Texas and in northeast Mexico.[2][10]


Taxonomy


First published in Mem. Natl. Acad. Sci. vol.20 on page 188 in 1924.[2]


Culture


Quercus canbyi will tolerate most kinds of soils and is used in gardens to provide shade.[11]
