I have a yard full of Quercus ilicifolia which I love. I have pruned them into nice shapes for the last 25 years. Many were old when we bought the property which had never been used other than for sheep grazing way back. They are a charming little tree. We call the scrub oaks. I would say none of mine are over 20 feet, most 15 feet. Slow growing. The first picture is one of a 3' tall one that I transplanted from the edge of the property in 1983 and it is now I would guess 10'. I do nothing except prune them. I have tried to show you some of their seasonal looks. Patti
