Description

This is a cool spot on the trail where Quercus chrysolepis grows right next to Quercus wislizeni, and they look almost identidical until you turn over the leaves and see that the former is gold to grey while the latter is shiney green. Ok, maybe it's only cool for plant nerds, but it was definitely useful for me, since I'm still a bit shakey on my oaks.
