Escarpment Live Oak
Quercus fusiformis
Escarpment Live Oak is the signature tree of the Texas Hill Country; a slow-growing, long-lived evergreen oak that develops a massive, broad-spreading canopy of extraordinary character and resilience. Virtually indistinguishable from its coastal cousin but far better adapted to the thin limestone soils, extreme drought, and cold snaps of the Edwards Plateau, it is the defining element of the Hill Country landscape. A true multi-generational investment, its dense canopy provides year-round shade and shelter while its acorns support an abundance of native wildlife.
