Common Name:  Black oak
Family:  Fagaceae
Author:  Torr.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  12   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Canyons, dry foothills and mountain slopes, 1350 - 2350 metres[229], growing best in sheltered valleys[82].

Propagation Notes: Seed - it quickly loses viability if it is allowed to dry out. It can be stored moist and cool overwinter but is best sown as soon as it is ripe in an outdoor seed bed, though it must be protected from mice, squirrels etc. Small quantities of seed can be sown in deep pots in a cold frame. Plants produce a deep taproot and need to be planted out into their permanent positions as soon as possible, in fact seed sown in situ will produce the best trees[11]. Trees should not be left in a nursery bed for more than 2 growing seasons without being moved or they will transplant very badly.
