California is blessed with more than 20 species of native oaks. Some are trees, and some are shrubs. Six of these species are commonly found in El Dorado County – the Blue Oak, Valley Oak, Interior Live Oak, Canyon Oak, California Black Oak and Huckleberry Oak. All of these except the Huckleberry Oak are adapted to summer heat and drought.
