Other Details:  The Quercus engelmannii are native to the foothills in Southern California and have the same cherished status as the Quercus agrifolia with the exception that the Engelmann Oak is an endangered variety.

The Engelmann Oak is a rare variety in specimen form and is one of our favorite oak trees at The Tree Plantation.
