Show Notes

Arizona white oak is Quercus arizonica. I’ve come across some magnificent ones over the years of living near them in southeastern Arizona. We also have some home grown white oaks planted around our home and they have some stories too. The photos are mine. I figured you like to see a little bit of my clutter, so there you go. That’s Ms. Mesquitey’s hand on the bark of the huge white oak and some leaves and developing acorns on an Arizona white oak.
