Lacey Oak (Quercus laceyi) is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree native to Texas and Mexico, known for its striking blue-gray to peach-colored foliage, stout trunk, and resistance to heat and drought. It typically grows 20 to 40 feet tall and is well-suited for well-drained, limestone soils. This tree produces small acorns, is a food source for wildlife, and is excellent for small landscapes due to its size and hardy nature.
