Looking for an unusual Oak?
Over the years we have developed contacts that collect acorns and ship them to us while they are still fresh.
Collected in the fall, we store them during the winter and with Spring coming advent, we start encouraging them to grow.
Spring is a busy time for starting the fresh saplings.
Welcome to Oaks of the Wild West
On Oct. 11 and 12, we will be participating in the annual fall festival in Patagonia and have a selection of our trees and plants available for sale. If you're going to be in the area this upcoming weekend, please drop by and see our selection trees! Fall is a great time for planting!
A different kind of tree nursery
Our nursery specializes in collecting a wide variety of Oak species.
We are located in South Eastern Arizona and understand what it takes to get Oaks to survive in our 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 branch of our nursery collects and grows many of the Oaks from different areas from across that state.
