Quercus canbyi (Canby oak, Sierra oak), synonyms including Quercus graciliformis, is a North American species of oak tree. [2]
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 has been distinguished from Quercus graciliformis by its twig shape and by producing acorns biennially rather than annually; [9] however as of February 2023 [update], Plants of the World Online regards them as synonymous. [2]
Quercus canbyi was first described by William Trelease in 1924. [2] It is placed in Quercus section Lobatae. [10]
The species has been found only in Texas and in northeast Mexico. [2] [11]
Quercus canbyi was assessed in 2016 for the IUCN Red List as " least concern". [1] Quercus graciliformis, regarded as a synonym by Plants of the World Online, was assessed as " critically endangered" in 2016. [12]
Quercus canbyi will tolerate most kinds of soils and is used in gardens to provide shade. [13]
