🟑 Coast Live Oak, #2420

Yardadori, San Mateo, July 2024. Potted in a deep grow-box, aggregate soil, 100% pumice at the root level. Screwed bottom of the stump to the box.

If it survives, let it grow out before cutting back and styling. Next season can encourage inner foliage or budding back closer to the trunk.

70F this week one week after collection, bagging for humidity control and doubling down with a heat mat.


Strange blight on 20% of leaves. Cut off and used soap insecticide.
