Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Wavyleaf oak is a naturally occuring cross between Q. gambelii and Q. turbinella, all native to Utah and the Intermountain West. It has a shrubby appearance, growing about 10 feet tall and wide. Thick, leathery leaves are a dark blue-green above and dull-green and hairy underneath. The leaves are toothed with wavy margins. In a protected site it may be semi-evergreen, though is generally deciduous. A great shrub to screen a patio, to create garden rooms, or at the edge of taller trees.
