Quercus kelloggii

California black oak. This close relative of Q. velutina is the only oak of this leaf type west of the Rockies, where it is native to California and Oregon and heat and drought tolerant with it. Though very rarely seen here in the UK, it is fully hardy and easy to please and can make a fine tree over 20m tall in time. Plants in the wild turn to the most glorious saturated vivid yellow in autumn. For most soils apart from thin alkaline.
