Coast Live Oak Care

North County San Diego Tree Specialists

The Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) is a native evergreen tree widely found throughout Southern California. It develops a broad, dense canopy and provides significant shade, making it well-suited for larger landscapes and open spaces. While highly adapted to local conditions, it requires proper pruning and care, as excessive irrigation and poor maintenance can lead to structural issues and decline.
