In a Nutshell:

*

Garry oak is the only native oak species in British Columbia, Washington State, and northern Oregon.

* shrub to 5 m, leaves not velvety underneath. Sierra Nevada.

* The disturbance that allowed Garry oak to persist in an area that would otherwise succeed to coniferous forest was primarily fire.

* The tree is named after Nicholas Garry, deputy governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1822–35.

* It is a drought-tolerant tree, typically of medium height, growing slowly to around 20 meters.

* Garry oak woodlands create a landscape mosaic of grassland, savanna, woodland, and closed-canopy forest. This mosaic of varied habitats, in turn, allows many more species to live in this area than would be possible in coniferous forest alone

* In Oak Bay, British Columbia, a fine of up to $10,000 may be issued for each Garry oak tree cut or damaged more...
