Lacey Oak

Quercus laceyi

“The Hill Country's best-kept secret.”

Endemic to the Edwards Plateau limestone cliffs. Bluer-than-blue summer foliage, shrimp-pink in spring emergence. Handles the worst alkaline limestone soils the Hill Country can throw. Semi-deciduous. Compact enough for residential lots. The oak world has a thousand species and most nurseries stock two. This is one you'll never regret hunting down.
