Emory Oak
Quercus emoryi
Emory Oak is a handsome, semi-evergreen native oak of the Chihuahuan Desert and Trans-Pecos mountains, prized for its dense, dark green foliage and sweet, edible acorns that have been a food staple for indigenous peoples for centuries. Growing with a full, rounded canopy, it provides reliable year-round shade and shelter while its prolific acorn crop sustains deer, turkey, javelina, and a host of other wildlife species. Deeply adapted to hot, dry climates and rocky, well-drained soils, it is an outstanding landscape tree for arid and semi-arid regions.
