River She-Oak |
A fast evergreen tree that grows to 30'-60', the River Oak has an open canopy and pine-like, bluish green foliage. It will tolerate considerable soil moisture or extended drought, and is often used to control soil erosion. It should receive sun to part shade. Small red or brown flowers, considered insignificant, appear in fall, followed by cones. It is drought tolerant once it's established.

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
