Discover Quercus gravesii, also known as Graves Oak or Chisos Red Oak, a distinctive deciduous tree admired for its spectacular display of colors and broad, arching branches. Maturing between 30 to 40 feet, this impressive tree boasts a rounded crown adorned with glossy, dark-green leaves and small brown acorns, transforming into vibrant shades of red and gold in the fall — a sight to behold! Species native to Texas and Mexico, Chisos Red Oak flourishes at elevations of about 5000-6000'. It grows rapidly for an oak tree and tolerates lower altitudes with supplemental irrigation, maintaining its lushness albeit with less colorful autumn appearance. Bark ages to a furrowed, dark texture, adding character to this attractive tree. The foliage of this oak consists of sharply lobed, narrow leaves similar to Q. buckleyi that stay late into the season. Chisos Red Oak provides a natural habitat and food source for numerous animal species, further enhancing local ecosystems. Quercus gravesii is an excellent choice for those desiring a prominent, wildlife-attracting feature in their landscape.
