Quercus chrysolepis, commonly known as the canyon live oak or golden cup oak, is a species of oak native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It can grow as a shrub or tree and is well-adapted to subtropical climates. This evergreen oak is known for its leathery leaves and distinctive golden cup-shaped acorns. It typically undergoes a dormancy period during the cooler months.
Caring for Quercus chrysolepis involves providing it with bright, direct sunlight and moderate temperatures. It prefers soil that dries out almost completely between waterings and thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and health.
