This small to mid-sized, deciduous tree has a moderate growth rate, and grows 30 to 35 feet tall and wide. It will develop a stout trunk with gray colored bark and a dense crown of bluish green foliage. Lacey Oaks is rarely bothered by insects or disease. It has strong erect spreading branches and in nature can have multiple trunks. Also known as a Blue Oak, it’s visually distinctive from any other varieties of Oaks growing in the area with its irregular shaped crown. It loves the well-drained limestone soils of the Edwards Plateau and Central Texas, where it can be found growing on canyon slopes in the area. Because of its small to medium size, it makes a good specimen tree for a small lawn or patio shade tree.
