A cross with L. rubescens x L. columbianum.
Leptodactylon californicum, trail to Mono Pass, 6 Jul 2008.
I visited Foote Preserve on a docent-led hike, possibly by CNPS.
I know it’s an oak, but I am still learning to distinguish the various species in Southern California. I saw some particularly HUGE acorns today.
This amazing oak in the middle of the torrance sprawl!
