Looking for an unusual Native Oak Tree?

Over the years we have developed contacts that collect acorns and ship them to us while they are still fresh. Collected in the late summer and early fall, we start planting acorns, allowing them to establish roots in the cooler months. Throughout the year our native tree stock continues expanding and thriving.

Is Fall the time to plant your tree?

A lot of customers are asking recently if trees should be planted in the Fall. The answer usually is yes. In Texas, the Fall months are an excellent time for planting. During the cooler months, the tree starts establishing a good root ball which will help it survive the more difficult months of summer heat.

In Arizona, Fall is also a great time to plant your tree. In some mountainous areas of Arizona where snow has already fall, you have missed the opportunity for this year. For those regions it is best to plant in late summer, early fall before snowfall starts.

In most regions of the Southwest, Fall is an excellent time to plant your tree.

A different kind of native tree nursery!

Our nursery specializes in collecting a wide variety of Oak species.

Located in South Eastern Arizona we understand what it takes to get Oaks to survive in harsh climates. Originally from Texas, we later moved to Arizona, so we have experience in how to grow trees in a wide variety of climates.

The Texas nursery location collects and grows many of the native Oak tree from West Texas, South Texas, Hill Country to North Texas.

Native Oak Tree Varieties We Carry

We carry a limited amount of other Oak tree species as well :
(a) Holly Oak and (b) Ajo Oak.

The Mexican Blue Oak is a unique native tree to Arizona and Texas. The leaves are strongly a dark blue color and have an unusual shape. They are very drought tolerant. When new leaves appear on the plant they are a wonderful light pink color. Typically, during the winter, the tree is an evergreen; however during the last cold winter with temperatures down to 3 degrees, the leaves were affected, but the plants survived.

The Ajo Oak is native to Northern Mexico. Through a variety of resources, we have annual access to acorns. Planting them at our nursery in South Eastern Arizona, the tree is doing well with our limited amount of annual rainfall.

The native Silver Leaf Oak is typically found in the higher elevations in the mountains in Arizona. We collect our acorns at about 5,500 feet. Our nursery located outside of Sierra Vista is at 4,400 feet and the Silver Leaf grows well here. The Silver Leak Oak also grows in the Davis Mountains of West Texas.

The unique native Texas Vasey Oak has a sharp pointed leaf and very small acorns. The tree typically grows in very dry conditions, and a typical tree that we have seen is about 10 to 15 tall.
