Description

Quercus sadleriana is an evergreen[3] shrub growing 1 to 3 meters (3 12 to 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 centimetres (12 and 34 inch) wide and a spherical or egg-shaped, round-ended nut up to 2 cm (34 in) long.[5][6]
