An oak unlike any you've seen before, we can promise you that! This bizarre multi-trunking evergreen has been studied by many of the worlds oak experts, and none of them have been able to pin an existing species name to it, so we've elected to give it the pet name 'Sierra Chiquita' in the meantime. This tree was originally collected by John Fairey and Carl Schoenfeld in 1992 in the San Carlos mountains (another name for the Sierra Chiquita mountain range for which this oak is named), and we still have many mature trees from these expeditions living in our Garden today. This small oak only grows to be about 15-25 feet tall, and has multiple thick trunks that emenate from the roots, which is somewhat unusual for oaks. The leaves are small and evergreen, growing on branches that extend all the way to the base of the tree if left unpruned. If you want the bragging rights of owning a currently unidentified oak species that isn't sold anywhere else in the country, then look no further than our very own 'Sierra Chiquita'. Plant in full sun and in well-draining soil. Although it is drought tolerant once established, it will need to be regularly watered for its first two summers in the ground.
