About Quercus sadleriana R.Br.ter
Quercus sadleriana R.Br.ter is an evergreen shrub that reaches 1 to 3 meters (3 1⁄2 to 10 feet) in height, growing from a root system that includes rhizomes. Its leaves resemble chestnut leaves, with an oval shape, toothed margins, and rounded, faintly pointed tips. This species is monoecious. It produces acorns as fruit: each acorn has a cap 1 to 2 centimeters (1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch) wide, and a spherical or egg-shaped, round-ended nut that grows up to 2 cm (3⁄4 in) long. It is native to southwestern Oregon and the far north of California, specifically growing in the Klamath Mountains, where it occurs in coniferous forests. The acorns of this species are edible.
