Silverleaf oak, also known as whiteleaf oak, is a resilient tree native to the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. Often appearing as a shrub in dry conditions, it can grow into a full tree where water is sufficient. Its narrow leaves are dark green above and silvery-white beneath. Silverleaf oak typically begins producing small, oblong acorns that feed wildlife after 20 to 30 years with crops maturing the second summer after spring flowering. Acorn production is variable, influenced by sunlight, pollination, and drought. The species develops a strong root system with a deep taproot for anchoring and water access.
