Monterrey Oak


If you are in the market for a tree, the Monterrey Oak is on the top of my list. Also known as the Mexican White Oak, Quercus polymorpha is a great native tree for San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Here's a little break down of what it has to offer:
~semi evergreen, holding leaves through most of the winter
~approximately 40'high x 30' wide at maturity
~considered one of the fastest growing oaks
~highly disease resistant
~large leathery leaves
If you have any questions about this tree or any other tree at the nursery give us a call

This that and something else all together...

The nursery is growing and expanding and so is my blog. We now have several designers on staff to help with your custom planter needs, so I've decided to change the blog up and become more interactive. I'll be featuring plants and garden ideas that come my way. If you have a fantastic garden idea, or a plant that needs identified, load it up on the blog, or send it to me via email. donna@thegardencenter.com
See you in the garden!
