Quercus undulata ‘Mesa de Maya’

Wavyleaved Oak - Mesa de Maya

A rather interesting Oak variety. Small but long bluish-grey leaves look closer to that of a Holly leaf than a regular Oak with barely any lobes. Its colouration lasts into the fall before turning a dull brown. Apparently a heavy fruiter. Tolerant of dry, alkaline and clay soils. Grows 25′ high by 20′ wide.
