Quercus sadleriana is a species of oak known by the common names Sadler's oak and deer oak. It is native to southwestern Oregon and far northern California in the Klamath Mountains.[1] It grows in coniferous forests.[2]
Description
Quercus sadleriana is a shrub growing 1 to 3 meters (3.3-10 feet) tall from a root network with rhizomes. The leaves are reminiscent of chestnut leaves, oval with toothed edges and rounded, faintly pointed ends. The fruit is an acorn with a cap between 1 and 2 centimeters (0.4-0.8 inch) wide and a spherical or egg-shaped, round-ended nut up to 2 centimeters (0.8 inch) long.[3][4]
