Description

Grow one of California's most iconic native oak species with Blue Oak Tree Seeds (Quercus douglasii). Known for its distinctive blue-gray foliage, drought tolerance, and rugged beauty, the Blue Oak is a long-lived deciduous tree that thrives in dry climates and poor soils. Mature trees develop broad, spreading canopies that provide valuable shade and wildlife habitat while adding natural beauty to landscapes.

Blue Oak is highly valued for restoration projects, wildlife plantings, and native landscaping. Its acorns provide food for birds, deer, squirrels, and other wildlife. Once established, this hardy oak requires minimal maintenance and can withstand extended periods of drought.

These seeds have a germination range of approximately 60–80%. No pre-treatment is required, although soaking the acorns in water for 12–24 hours before sowing is recommended to help improve moisture absorption and encourage germination.
